Søborg Motetkor brings a Christmas classic to Søborg Kirke: excerpts from Georg Friedrich Handel's Messiah, sung in English. Around 50 choir singers, four soloists and a 20-piece orchestra perform under the direction of Klaus Munk-Nielsen.
The programme moves from the famous aria The Trumpet Shall Sound to the grand Hallelujah chorus and quieter, heartfelt passages. Choir chairman Margit Schæffer says the joy of both listening to and singing the work is what has kept it a beloved Christmas tradition for nearly three centuries. It is also a good chance to introduce children to classical music, and young children get in free.
