Acclaimed Sunshine Coast ensemble, Oriana Choir will launch the festive season with a concert presentation of Handel’s beloved masterpiece, Messiah. Conducted by Andrew Wailes, at 3pm November 26 at City Hall, Brisbane.

Andrew is the Artistic Director of the Royal Melbourne Philharmonic. Oriana patrons may remember Andrew Wailes from their presentations of Mendelssohn’s Elijah, Mozart’s Requiem and Gjeilo’s Sunrise Mass.

Performances of Handel’s Messiah will be taking place all around the world during the Christmas period. Composed in just three weeks, Messiah has been delighting audiences for over 280 years. It is as mesmerising today as it was at its inception, accentuated by the awe-inspiring ‘Hallelujah’ chorus.

Soloists this year are soprano Elisabeth Wallis Gaedtke, contralto Anne Fulton, tenor Tobias Merz and bass Jason Barry-Smith and Oriana will be accompanied by Sinfonia of St Andrew’s, an accomplished Brisbane based.
