Gareth Malone's Messiah
Episode 1 of 2
Part one of two. Handel's Messiah is the nation's favourite choral work. It has now been a consistent hit for 275 years, being performed all over the country, year in year out, since it was put on as an Easter fundraiser at London's Foundling Hospital in 1750. Choirmaster Gareth Malone coaches eight people with no experience of classical choral music to sing Handel's piece, alongside a world-class orchestra and chorus in a two-hour performance
Gareth Malone's Messiah airs on BBC One Yorkshire & Lincolnshire HD at 10:45 AM, Friday 18 April. (Subtitles, new, audio description.)
