Israel in Egypt
June 2, 2015 @ 7:30 pm
£12.00
Working under its charismatic music director David Bates, La Nuova Musica is one of the UK’s leading vocal and instrumental ensembles, specialising in music from the Renaissance and the Baroque. The group will play Handel’s Israel in Egypt, one of the composer’s finest English language oratorios.
This energetic piece uses Biblical texts from Exodus and the Psalms to tell the story of Moses leading the Israelites from Egypt to freedom. Referencing the 2015 Festival’s focus on the Middle East, this choral masterpiece packed with musical drama will sing out in the majestic surroundings of Salisbury Cathedral.
Supported by Sir Christopher and Lady Benson
