Year after year, the Mogens Dahl Chamber Choir has tightened their grip on their very own interpretation of Handel’s masterpiece, Messiah. The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment has been an ideal collaborator in this international project, offering the Danish audience a simultaneously modern and faithful rendition of the oratorio, which for many is the ultimate Christmas music.

Handel’s Messiah narrates the story of the Old Testament prophecies of a savior for all of humanity. Charles Jennens assembled the texts, which were masterfully set to music by Handel, so that the biblical narratives resonate with the deepest human emotions.

“Hallelujah for a splendid ‘Messiah’: It’s almost impossible to wait for the English orchestra to return to Copenhagen.”
