For the 14th year running, International Festival Chorus and Peking Sinfonietta continue their annual tradition of performing the immensely popular Christmas classic, Handel’s Messiah, on Saturday 3 December 2016 at Harrow International School Beijing.

Given the Christmas theme, this year’s concert will benefit the Chinese environment, with the chosen charity Future Forest tasked with planting trees in Inner Mongolia’s Kubuqi desert to stabilize the sands and improve the local ecosystem. With every two tickets sold, one tree will be planted during next year’s expeditions.
