Berwick Arts Choir is delighted to present Handel's Messiah, in full, across the 2025/26 season.

​​​​​Following our Winter concert performance of Messiah Part 1 in December 2025, Messiah Parts 2 and 3 will form the programme for the Spring concert, on Saturday 18th April 2026, in Berwick Parish Church.

We welcome back Berwick Arts Orchestra under the leadership of Cath Cormie.

The soloists are the same as those for our Christmas 2025 concert:

​
