The Elgar Chorale of Worcester

<H2>Come to Pershore Abbey to hear the Elgar Chorale, conducted by Piers Maxim,  performing the  complete  Handel's Messiah accompanied by  the Pavillion Ensemble,  a period orchestra and internationally renowned soloists-</H2>
<H2>Christina Birchall-Sampson - Soprano</H2>
<H2>Robin Blaze - Countertenor</H2>
<H2><STRONG>Mark Dobel - Tenor</STRONG></H2>
<H2>James Birchall - Bass-baritone</H2>
<H2>'It's a real thrill to be joined by such a distinguished group of soloists', says Piers. 'Robin is among the international front rank of interpreters of Purcell, Bach and Handel while Mark has worked as a soloist throughout Europe and North America and is equally established as a consort singer with some of this country's foremost groups. Christina is a passionate recitalist - she has performed at the Wigmore Hall - and it's a delight that she's joining us with her husband James, a veteran of many of the major oratorio roles. Pershore Abbey and its wonderful accoustic should do them all proud!'</H2>
<H2>Piers himself is no stranger to the music world for his baroque interpretations and he's promising a fresh look at this most traditional and much-loved choral masterpiece at a time well away from its usual Christmas scheduling. Interestingly, the first performance was in Dublin just after Easter on 13 April 1742. so it is returning to its correct time!</H2>
<H2>                            We look forward to welcoming you.</H2>
