  1. Soulful Messiah: A Celebration - arranged by Steve Gray

Soulful Messiah: A Celebration is a major performance project involving multiple vocal and instrumental forces. Our Music Director, Mike Daniels, has aspired to bring this project to the stage since he heard the power of the music at the re-opening of Birmingham Town Hall 10 years ago…and it is now happening! This particular production is based on the seminal 1992 album Handel’s Messiah: A Soulful Celebration with the late Steve Gray’s arrangements for full big band and string orchestra, chorus, soloists and bespoke artworks by Somerset artist Annie Musgrove.

Our internationally-renowned soloists from Black Voices and the award-winning Town Hall Gospel Choir were key elements 10 years ago and we are thrilled to be bringing them down to the Southwest to sing alongside a 60+ specially-formed community choir and a 33-piece handpicked jazz orchestra. Mike Daniels will, of course, be driving the music forward from the podium and holding this marvelous amalgam of both professional and amateur music-makers together.

Handel wrote to a friend that he wanted the music of Messiah to ‘make people better.’ This world is full of struggle – physical, emotional, mental, relational – and although one night of music will not change that, this will be an opportunity to experience “unity in diversity - diversity in unity” which, surely, can only help us to make our world a little bit better!

There will be a pre-concert performance from a local school choir as well as a chance to view the art exhibition.
