Skipton Camerata: Handel's Messiah
with The Clothworkers Consort of Leeds
Fri 6th December 2024 7:00pm
Ben Crick directs the nation’s favourite choral masterpiece in Skipton Town Hall.
Two hundred years ago, Handel’s Messiah was the biggest hit in the history of British music and with moments like ‘Ev’ry Valley’, ‘For Unto Us A Child is Born’ and ‘The Trumpet Shall Sound’, it’s easy to hear why. Messiah is both a classical masterpiece and a national institution. Highly regarded for its musical and emotional expressiveness, Messiah’s popularity owes much to its ability to appeal to a wide range of listeners.
Run time: approx. 2 hour 45 minutes (including an interval)

Skipton Camerata
Founded in 2004 by its artistic director, Ben Crick, Skipton Camerata is North Yorkshire’s only professional orchestra. Skipton Camerata’s primary purpose is the delivery of live classical music to a national standard in areas of limited provision across Yorkshire. They want to remove barriers that prevent people from engaging with classical music. They believe everyone should be able to enjoy high-quality live orchestral music as much as they do.
