In September 2023, John Rutter concluded the first MESSIAH 24 hour “Drop-In” on hours 23 and 24.

It was an emotional end to a remarkable 24 hours in aid of the Portico Appeal at Handel’s Church, St. George’s, Hanover Square, raising almost £10,000.

So we are doing it all over again.

We now invite singers and instrumentalists to our second “MESSIAH 24 hour Drop-In”
