Birr Festival of Music presents Handel’s Messiah, performed by Cambiata Chamber Choir &amp; Orchestra in the beautiful setting of St Brendan’s R.C Church on Wilmer Road.

Featuring the famous ‘Hallelujah Chorus’, Handel’s Messiah is one of the most beloved works in the choral repertoire, its message of hope and joy forever linked with the Christmas season.

The oratorio also holds a special place in Irish music history: its world premiere took place in Dublin in 1742 at Neal’s Musick Hall, Fishamble Street, where audiences were asked to leave their hoop skirts and swords at home to make room for the eager crowds!

Now, Birr welcomes this great masterpiece (for the first time in many years) for a festive evening with choir, full orchestra, and a line-up of outstanding soloists, under the baton of Niall Kinsella.

✨A glorious evening of music not to be missed!
(No swords or hoop-skirts, please!)
