Messiah in Aarhus

It has become an annual tradition for Sct. Pauls Cantori, Aarhus, to perform Händel's "Messiah" in the weeks leading up to Christmas, with an orchestra of leading musicians from the regional orchestras, several of them principal players, and four of the country's leading oratorio soloists. The work is performed almost uncut, in its full length. Performers: Soprano: Julie Krog Jensen Alto: Jara Kanzler Schmidt-Hemmet Tenor: David Danholt Bass: Thomas Storm Sct.
