The concert will be both live and livestreamed, available for local and international audiences alike to enjoy.
Richard Egarr directs a glittering array of British talent – soprano Rowan Pierce, countertenor Iestyn Davies, tenor Ben Johnson and bass Ashley Riches.
The performance is co-produced by the Barbican and the Academy of Ancient Music, who are determined to continue their annual tradition of hosting a performance of the Messiah for the festive season.
