The timeless oratorio Messiah is a cornerstone of ATCECM’s repertoire. As we are going to celebrate our 43rd annual worship and tenth performance of this classic, we will host a special lecture and workshop aimed at enriching our understanding and experience of this beloved work while encouraging church choir members to join this year’s mass choir. The lecture will delve into Handel’s oratorio, exploring its musical structure alongside its spiritual and cultural significance, and will also trace the history of its performances and reception since its premiere in 1742. The workshop session will then focus on refining key excerpts with attention to technique and style.

About the Speaker
Dr. KAM Lap Kwan was born in Hong Kong and became a Christian in his youth. He is deeply grateful for the mentorship that has shaped his service in church music, initially provided by Rev. Raymond Tse, Professor Stanley Cheng (Sham Shui Po Baptist Church), and Rev. Walter Wan (The Singing Churchmen of Hong Kong), and subsequently complemented by the short-term guidance from Dr. Richard Lin and Rev. Samuel Tang. After earning his PhD in musicology from the University of Vienna, Kam taught for decades at National Chiao Tung University and National Taiwan University, and also at the University of Hong Kong as a visiting faculty in the fall of 2010. In 1995, he conducted ATCECM’s 13th annual Mass Choir, presenting Brahms’ German Requiem.
