George Frideric Handel’s Messiah is undoubtedly one of the most cherished choral works of Western music, exuding joy and humanity from start to finish and celebrating our relationship with the divine.
Special guest conductor Trevor Pinnock was artistic director and principal conductor of NACO from 1991 to 1996, and his return to the podium of Southam Hall is always a cause for celebration. Maestro Pinnock “seems to have a special feeling for Handel’s Messiah”(Ottawa Citizen), and he never fails to find the beauty in every note.
The Cantata Singers of Ottawa have performed every year with the NAC Orchestra since the NAC opened in 1969. They are joined on stage by the Capital Chamber Choir, which has distinguished itself as one of Ottawa’s premier small vocal ensembles.
