Handel's Israel in Egypt | Summertown Choral Society

"Handel understands effect better than any of us; when he chooses, he strikes like a thunderbolt" (WA Mozart). Mozart's words are no better demonstrated than in Handel's magnificent oratorio Israel in Egypt. It soon stood alongside Messiah as one of England's favourite choral treasures. Choruses and solos of frogs, pestilence, hailstones, darkness, insects, fire and violent smiting contain some of his greatest writing.

Summertown Choral Society will be joined again by Instruments of Time and Truth and another distinguished line up of soloists including the international tenor Daniel Norman. Early booking is essential!
