Asmf & Bbc Proms: Handel’s Messiah

Royal Albert Hall

Our Proms Choral Day culminates with one of music’s everlasting masterpieces, Handel’s Messiah. The choral movements are where this work’s most exciting, most joyous and most explosive music is to be found. ‘I did think I did see all Heaven before me,’ wrote the composer as he finished this musical reflection on faith, one that still brings audiences to their feet nearly three centuries after it was written.

Where will you be in ten years? Stephanie Childress answers in an interview on meettheartist.online: She thinks that she works with music together with good colleagues, and plays an active role in changing the education in art and music. Because, she says, the earlier you encounter art, the better. It is not a question of educating more musicians, but that everyone should have the opportunity to experience, for example, the classical music – and that is what she wants, to bring classical music and art to as many people as possible. French-British Stephanie Childress herself played the violin as a child. She is not from a musical family, but from a home where all kinds of activities were supported and Tina Turner and David Bowie were listened to. She didn't really want to be a musician, but then she started going to rehearsals for operas instead of classes at school, Britten and Strauss heard, and then she was sold. She continued with the violin, and it provided a foundation for her to begin conducting studies. Today, she has already achieved part of her dream, i.a. conducted at the Glyndebourne opera in England – which is praised as one of the best Mozart interpreters – and was assistant conductor at St. Louis Symphony Orchestra in the USA, as well as 1st guest conductor at the Barcelona Symphony Orchestra from season 24/25. And touring all over the world until then.
