This week The Guide Awards celebrated the best of the local arts world at a glittering bash at The New Theatre Royal. Fourteen awards were handed out, covering music, stage, comedy and cinema, based on public votes.
In first place was the University of Portsmouth Music Department for its Portsmouth Messiah 1812 project of March 2017 (see link below), which was a large-scale re-creation of a performance of the work. The Renaissance Choir was voted runner-up for its link with the Palestrina Foundation.
