Handel's Messiah: Origin and Afterlife

Artistic Director and conductor Erin Helyard offers fascinating insights into the history and evolution of this beloved Christmas classic, ahead of Pinchgut’s performances of Handel’s original Dublin version (1742) at City Recital Hall later in November.

This 60-minute talk also features a live performance by mezzo-soprano Ashlyn Tymms, accompanied by Helyard at the harpsichord.
