About Us

We are one of the largest choirs to perform in the city of Sydney each year; and each time we sing we are joined on stage by an orchestra, organist and soloists. Over the years, more than twenty thousand people have sung with us, and filled the historic Sydney Town Hall with glorious music.

In our choir, experienced choristers and new singers are all welcome, as we share the fun and challenge of singing Messiah together. Registrations open 1st July, 2026. Don’t miss an opportunity to be part of making it happen.

On this page you’ll find links to the stories about the People who integral to the success of performances; the History of Radio Community Chest, the charity that makes it happen; and more details of our Charitable Purposes.

Handel’s Messiah Sydney rehearses and performs on the land of the Gadigal of the Eora nation. We acknowledge First Nations people as the original story tellers and music makers of this ancient land, and celebrate their deep connection to this country.

Radio Community Chest Incorporated (ABN 80 990 419 897) is a registered charity. Through our annual presentations of Handel’s Messiah we are committed to encouraging a love for choral music; and surpluses are used to assist the needy in our city.
