There are many works of classical music that are known to the general public. The Hallelujah chorus from Handel’s Messiah is possibly one of the most famous pieces of music ever written, even though it comprises only about one percent of the length of the total work.
Messiah is known as one of the greatest musical works ever produced and it wouldn’t be Christmas in Harrogate without the opportunity to hear this great Oratorio – a form of music that contain dramatic lyrics like an opera, but which is staged as a concert without sets or acting.

The Harrogate Christmas Concert

Harrogate Convention Centre
Harrogate Convention Centre
Every year Harrogate Convention Centre fills with musicians young and old for The Christmas Event in Harrogate. Approximately 300 primary school children join forces with Harrogate Choral Society and Harrogate Symphony Orchestra in this family friendly concert.
Every year there are three teams of children and there are so many schools in the district that each school will only perform at once every three years so this is a really special event for them.
There are also special guests – the ladies choir Beati, and of course not forgetting the most important man of all at that time of year who we hope will be there in his red suit!
