Zadok the Priest • Dettingen Te Deum • My heart is inditing • Music for the Royal Fireworks • Let the bright Seraphim • Let their celestial concerts all unite
City of Bristol Choirs's Handel 250 Festival opens in majestic style with Zadok the Priest, one of Handel’s most arresting and triumphant works for choir and orchestra. The other pieces in the programme are equally bright and joyful: the rarely-performed Dettingen Te Deum and the sparkling Music for the Royal Fireworks, played by the fabulous Emerald Ensemble.
The choir will be joined by soprano Christina Sampson, mezzo soprano Pamela Rudge and bass Martin Le Poidevin to perform some of Handel’s most beautiful arias.

How to find St Alban's Church
From Clifton in Bristol:
Go up Whiteladies Road and get into the middle lane at the top of Blackboy Hill. Follow the road round to the right and stay in the middle lane marked 'Redland'. Take the second exit off the roundabout, with the BUPA hospital on your left. Carry on down that road to a roundabout. Turn left, then immediately first right into Coldharbour Road. The church is on your left just after the second turning on the left.
From Gloucester Road in Bristol:
Drive from the arches up towards the traffic lights (away from the City Centre, towards Horfield). At the lights next to 'Amici', turn left, then immediately right at the next set of lights into Cranbrook Road. Keep going to a set of traffic lights, and turn left onto Coldharbour Road. St Alban's is on your right just after the third turning on the right.
From the M4:
Follow the M4 to the M4/M5 junction, then get onto the M5 southbound (South West). From the M5 take junc 17 and follow signs for A4018 into Bristol. Go over 3 roundabouts (1. Cribbs Causeway, 2. Rugby ground, 3, Crow pub on right). Keep going over 3 sets of traffic lights at junctions, until you get to a roundabout - in total 2 miles or so from Crow pub roundabout. At this roundabout, turn left into North View, then immediately right into Etloe Road, which becomes Bayswater Road. Carry on to the end of the road, and St Alban's church is on the corner on your right hand side.
