Handel’s Messiah at the Groote Kerk

An award-winning choir will team up with other talented classical musicians to bring you this oratorio

If you prefer live music shows with less volume and more sophistication then classical music concerts are probably your go-to event. Unfortunately, there aren’t too many options available, besides the Klein Karoo Klassique taking place this month. So come get your fix as the Groote Kerk Kaapstad celebrates its 350th birthday with Handel’s Messiah on Saturday, 29 August 2015 at 7pm.

There will be a variety of classical musicians singing and stringing to soothe your mood, including soloists Minette Pearce, Thomas Erlank, Barend N van der Westhuizen and Elsabé Richter. In addition, the award-winning Cape Town Youth Choir (CTYC) will be performing. The CTYC was founded in 1997 as the Pro Cantu Youth Choir, and gives young singers the opportunity to be part of a choir with the highest international standards. They won two gold medals at the World Choir Games in Latvia in 2014, proving that they are one of the most talented choirs in the world.

These singers will be accompanied by the CTYC Festival Orchestra, led by Suzanne Martens and conducted by Leon Starker – just to top-off the talent on the night. So beat the winter blues by unwinding to the harmonic sounds of the city’s finest singers and instrumentalists at a rendition of the famous oratorio by Handel.
