Programme:Handel Messiah, HWV 56Erica Eloff sopranoTimothy Morgan countertenorBradley Smith tenorTristan Hambleton bass baritoneThe Hanover Band and ChorusAndrew Arthur director, harpsichordSome of the best period instrument specialists in the UK, the goal of the Hanover Band is to give audiences a feeling for what earlier music actually sounded like when heard in favourable circumstances.
