Dedicated to producing top level performances of the world's greatest music, the Handel Society is celebrating more than 60 years of performance excellence. We are so pleased to announce an exciting new line-up of Baroque Classics for our May 3rd, 2025 Spring Concert.
We begin with the great masterpiece "Vivaldi's Gloria"; a rousing, inspirational tribute to the Italian composer's genius. Then it's on to George Handel's Chandos Anthem #9, a quick, lively and challenging piece requiring vocal gymnastics on the part of the choir. The concert includes the Handel Baroque Orchestra performing Haydn's Symphony #1. It is rounded out with several, beautifully intricate pre-baroque pieces, including Palestrina's "Sicut Cervus" and Victoria's "O Magnum Mysterium".
There is simply no better opportunity anywhere else in the Greater Vancouver region to enjoy these masterpieces "up close and personal" in an intimate setting with a full professional orchestra and accomplished chorale.
