Handel's oratorio Messiah returns as a yearly pre-Christmas tradition, performed by Sct. Pauls Cantori from Aarhus together with an orchestra of leading musicians from the regional orchestras, including several principal players.
The work is performed almost in full. The vocal soloists are Julie Krog Jensen (soprano), Jara Kanzler Schmidt-Hemmet (mezzo-soprano), David Danholt (tenor) and Thomas Storm (bass), with Thomas Kristian Nielsen conducting. Nielsen, organist and cantor at Sct. Pauls Kirke, founded the tradition more than twenty years ago.
Danholt also sings Handel's Messiah in Copenhagen's Vor Frue Kirke on 3 December 2026, so this is a chance to hear the same tenor in a different church.
