Messiah at the Foundling Hospital
BBC Two (not Scotland) Sat 19th Apr 9:30pm - 10:30pm
Repeat: BBC Two Scotland Today 10:30pm


Handel's Messiah is one of the most popular choral pieces in Western music, yet few people know the story of how this much-loved work came to public attention or helped save the lives of tens of thousands of children. Historian Amanda Vickery and Radio 3 presenter Tom Service present this docu-drama that recreates the performance of Messiah at London's Foundling Hospital in 1750 and reveals how this special fundraising concert helped maintain the institution and heralded a golden age of philanthropy. www.radiotimes.com
