Description: 
Baroque hits Bankstown!
River City Voices fuses Handel’s Messiah with the power of spoken word poetry in SLAM MESSIAH – a program breaking the mould of a beloved Christmas tradition by uniting a choral classic with brand new performance poetry for our Western Sydney audiences.
🎼 Presented as a shortened chamber version perfect for new audiences, three talented Western Sydney poets respond to the issues the music contains, framed by Handel’s thrilling arias and compelling choruses, including the famous ‘Hallelujah Chorus’.
🙌 Conducted by River City Voices’ Artistic Director Dr Sarah Penicka-Smith, featuring poets Daniel Mehareb, Rania Omar and Charnel Rizk, award-winning vocalists Kerry Nicholson, Wesley Yu and Michael Lampard, and authentically accompanied by The Muffat Collective.
⭐With each note, Slam Messiah offers audiences the chance to experience this monumental work like never before — alive, immediate, and speaking directly to the heart of 2025.
