On Thursday 30th November, The Tiffin Boys’ Choir, with soloists from the Tiffin Chamber Choir and baroque orchestra, performed Handel’s Messiah at St. Luke’s Church Kingston. In a concert which has become a fixture in the choir Christmas calendar, the singers impressed audience members even more greatly this year by performing the work almost in its entirety. The achievement is especially remarkable noting that, as in previous years, every solo movement was sung by a choir member, brilliantly prepared by Tiffin’s dedicated singing teaching staff, along with masterclass leaders and international soloists Gareth John OT and Robin Blaze. The choirs achieved this impressive feat alongside their performance of Elgar’s Dream of Gerontius (19th November) and preparations for the annual and ambitious Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols (13th December) at All Saints’ Church.
