On May 19th, Prince Harry marries Meghan Markle in St George’s Chapel, Windsor.

Guest conductor Christopher Warren-Green led the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra and Rochester Oratorio Society in a performance of Handel's Messiah in December of 2016.

The maestro is no stranger to the British royal family.

In an interview with WXXI's Julia Figueras, Warren-Green tells stories from his concerts for the Queen of England, including one tale of a harpsichord discovered in the bowels of Kew Palace he thought must have been played by George Friedrich Handel himself.

See more about the upcoming wedding on WXXI-TV. The Royal Wedding Live will replay on Sunday, May 20 at 11 a.m. on WXXI-TV.

Brenda Tremblay has served as weekday morning host on WXXI Classical since 2009.
