About This Performance
We are proud to present Messiah Favourites, a virtual performance of selections from Händel’s Messiah featuring singers that are all based in the west coast of Canada. In collaboration with leading orchestral members from the Portland Baroque Orchestra, we have created a cross-border production that was recorded, edited, and produced all from our respective homes!
Messiah Favourites include solos, ensembles, and orchestral highlights from the well-loved and seasonal work. Featured soloists are Chloé Hurst (soprano), Bahareh Poureslami (soprano), Emma Parkinson (alto), Isaiah Bell (tenor), and Aaron Durand (bass), accompanied by members of the Portland Baroque Orchestra led by conductor Valery Saul.
Programme:
- Overture
- Comfort Ye My People — Ev’ry Valley Shall Be Exalted
- Behold, a Virgin Shall Conceive — O Thou That Tellest Good Tidings to Zion
- Then Shall the Eyes of the Blind — He Shall Feed His Flock
- How Beautiful Are the Feet
- Hallelujah!
- Behold, I Tell You a Mystery — The Trumpet Shall Sound
