Gareth Malone's Messiah!

Halifax Choral Society is set to appear in a starring role on BBC Television in the first episode of a new three-part series presented by English Choirmaster Gareth Malone.

Gareth has known, loved and sung Messiah since he was a boy, but the series will see him conducting a performance for the first time. By selecting eight new singers from hundreds of applicants and embarking on seven weeks of intense coaching, he hopes to put on a performance to remember, share his love of singing once again and create yet more fans for this choral classic.

The series builds to a glorious performance by the BBC National Orchestra and Chorus of Wales and four leading professional soloists at Cardiff’s Llandaff Cathedral.
Interwoven with the singing, the series sees Gareth dig deeper into the history of Messiah, its religious meaning and its place in British culture over many generations – hence his visit to hear the talented vocalists of Halifax Choral Society.
