Friday November 20 2026

Handel’s Joshua Oratorio

One of Handel’s lesser -known works which has wonderful rousing choruses interspersed with arias sung by solo soprano, alto, tenor and bass. Joshua is based on the Biblical story of Joshua as the leader of the ancient Israelites. The story follows the Israelites from their passage over the Jordan River into Caanan and through the Battle of Jericho.

The dates for our concerts in 2027 are Friday 19th March in St Andrew’s Presteigne, Saturday 3rd July in St Andrew’s Presteigne and Saturday 4th December in St Andrew’s Presteigne.

The programmes for these concerts will be announced in due course.
