The final concert of our 2014 season was Handel’s Messiah, conducted by Dr Carlos Alvarado, with soloists Jenny Liu (Soprano), Ellen Malone (Contralto),Joel Scott (Tenor) and Greg McCreanor (Bass).

The performances were very well received by near-capacity audiences.  Sunday’s performance was memorably interrupted for a few minutes by the Fire Alarm, which had been triggered by a lightning strike elsewhere in the College.  We kept calm and carried on, once the alarm had been silenced.   One member of the audience was heard to comment that, with the torrential rain and lightnig strikes outside, she felt that the safest place to be was inside the Chapel, in the company of The Messiah.
