LineUp

Founded in 2000 by Emmanuelle Haïm, Le Concert d'Astrée is a celebrated French ensemble dedicated to vibrant, historically informed performances of 17th and 18th-century baroque music. Renowned for their expressive style and acclaimed discography, they have earned multiple Victoires de la Musique Classique and an Echo Deutscher Musikpreis, collaborating with leading soloists worldwide.
Messiah (HWV 56) is an English-language oratorio composed in 1741 by George Frideric Handel, with a scriptural text compiled by Charles Jennens. First performed in Dublin on April 13, 1742, it reflects on the Christian narrative of Jesus Christ from birth and passion to resurrection and glorification. It has since become one of the best-known, most frequently performed, and enduring choral works in Western classical music.
George Frideric Handel, born in Halle, Germany, was a Baroque master. Renowned for grand operas and oratorios, his dramatic style blended German, Italian, and English traditions. Iconic works include "Messiah," "Water Music," and "Music for the Royal Fireworks." He became a British subject and is celebrated for his profound influence on music, especially English oratorio.
Emmanuelle Haïm is an acclaimed conductor and keyboard player specializing in the Baroque repertoire. In 2000, she founded Le Concert d'Astrée, which gained a rapid international reputation. She has conducted major orchestras worldwide and holds honors including Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur and Honorary Member of the Royal Academy of Music.
