THE Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra celebrates the Yuletide season with “Handel’s Messiah” at the Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo on December 16, 2022, 8 pm.
“It is a tribute to George Frideric Handel’s genius. Even after 280 years since it was first heard in 1742 in Dublin, music lovers all over the world are still in awe when they hear this magnificent choral piece. This music which has transcended time should be experienced first-hand by Filipinos as interpreted by Filipino musicians,” said CCP president Margie Moran-Floirendo.came from the late CCP President Baltazar Endriga some years back.
Considered one of the greatest Christmas classical music ever composed, “Messiah” is naturally a big challenge for conductor Carpio. He has conducted selected movements from the choral piece, mostly the first part—the Advent and Christmas portion—ending with the Hallelujah Chorus before, but this will be the first time Carpio is doing the complete movements with an orchestra lasting more than two hours with him as the only conductor.
The 200-member grand chorus will be composed of current members and alumni of the Philippine Madrigal Singers, Sing Philippines Youth Choir, Male Ensemble Philippines, and Musika Filipina. Completing the grand chorus are: Coro Cantabile, DLSU Chorale, Lighter Side Movement, Novo Concertante Manila, Pansol Choir, Philippine Vocal Ensemble and Song Weavers Philippines.
