Hallelujah!
Once again this famous chorus will fill the Williamstown Town Hall when the Camberwell Chorale and the Camerata Orchestra perform Handel’s ’Messiah’ on Saturday 30 November at 7:30pm.
It is a tradition at this time of the year for Handel’s ’Messiah’ to be heard in concert halls and churches around the world. This joyous and powerful work speaks to all humanity with the hope that people can learn to live in peace.
The four magnificent soloists for this occasion will be Lee Abrahmsen, Kerrie Bolton, Paul Biencourt and Manfred Pohlenz.
The conductor for the performance will be Douglas Heywood OAM, who has led the Camberwell Chorale for 50 years. Doug is well-known to the millions of viewers who enjoy the spirit of Christmas at the GTV 9 Carols by Candlelight screened live from the Myer Music Bowl on Christmas Eve every year. Doug is the second conductor of the Camberwell Chorale, having followed on from founder Dr Hermann Schildberger who led the Camberwell Chorale for the first 30 years.
Doug has conducted Handel’s ’Messiah’ on many occasions, and has conducted Hallelujah Chorus well over 100 times. He says he no longer requires music to conduct from, as he finally has it from memory!
