THE St Austell Choral Society members will be performing Handel’s much loved ‘Messiah’ (Parts 2 and 3) at St John’s Methodist Church on Saturday, May 17, at 7.30pm.

This is the first time that the society has performed this for many years which provides an exciting opportunity for visitors to enjoy this part of ‘Messiah’ in the Easter season.

Accomplished soloists Elinor Chapman (soprano), Holly-Anna Hawkes (alto), Mark Hounsell (tenor) and Julian Rippon (bass) will be taking part.

To further enhance the concert, a group of seven instrumentalists will be supporting organist Anthony Trodd. They will be led by Phil Montgomery-Smith.

The concert will be conducted by Paul Drayton.

Tickets can be obtained at the door on the night or in advance from www.staustellchoralsociety.co.uk
