Mr Handel’s Christmas Story is a ‘new’ oratorio to celebrate Christmas and introduce young people to some of Handel’s greatest music.
6,000 young singers, 11 cities, and 28 of Gabrieli’s professional instrumentalists and singers: Gabrieli Roar’s Mr Handel’s Christmas Story tour comes to North Yorkshire, at Selby Abbey for the very first time!
An exciting and original concept created by Gabrieli Artistic Director Paul McCreesh, the programme will include many highlights from Messiah movements from other Handel oratorio, adapted and re – texted to create a programme that retells the Christmas story in full. Culminating in a joyous rendition of the Hallelujah chorus, Gabrieli’s full Baroque orchestra and singers will be joined by schools and youth choirs from across Selby District alongside.
Selby Abbey is delighted to be part of the UK 2026 tour and tickets will be available very soon – keep checking by copying the following link into your browser – www.gabrieli.com/events
