Choir of the Earth to bring Messiah on world tour

LONDON - May 20, 2022 - PRLog -- Choir of the Earth Founder Mark Strachan BEM and Musical Director Ben England BEM plan to bring Handel's Messiah on tour, travelling to singers with Come and Sing events in locations around the world. They say:

"We are so excited to be taking Messiah on tour, starting in London on 22 October this year and coming to a town or city near you. We can't wait to get on the road so that we can all enjoy singing Messiah together!"

Each event will run from 10am-7pm and Ben will lead singers through twelve choruses from Messiah before conducting a concert performance with soloists and organist. All events are open to everybody, whether or not they have sung with Choir of the Earth before.

The first event will take place in St Gabriel's Church Pimlico in London on Saturday 22 October 2022. Tickets cost £50 and include a resource pack with everything singers will need to learn and practice their parts in preparation for the event. The number of tickets is capped at 280 and these are already selling quickly.

Choir of the Earth, staying true to its online roots, will also livestream the full day for those who want to join in but are unable to attend in person. The cost of a livestream ticket is £25 and includes the same resource pack as in-person attendees plus exclusive conversations and interviews.

The Choir is honoured to be joined by Richard Gowers on piano and organ, and soloists from world-class chamber choir Fieri Consort.

The Come and Sing Messiah Tour will go on the road after London, with events currently planned for:

November 2022: Cardiff & Bristol
December 2022: Birmingham
January 2023: Manchester
February 2023: Edinburgh
