Handel’s Messiah Sydney
Upcoming Performances and Events
We have been performing Handel’s Messiah in Sydney every year (almost!) since 1941. The choir began as the Combined Churches Choir, and now includes voices from all over Sydney singing this iconic and world-famous music.

Is this the year you sing on stage at the Sydney Town Hall as part of the Handel’s Messiah Sydney Choir?
The Handel’s Messiah Sydney Choir is a non-auditioning choir of singers from all over Sydney. Some of our choristers have been singing Handel’s Messiah with us for years; some of our choristers are doing this for the first time. We welcome trained singers and enthusiastic amateurs. Everyone should have the opportunity to sing Messiah – including the Hallelujah Chorus – on stage, so why wait another year? Come and be part of our choir of over 300 voices. Register at our website www.handelsmessiahsydney.org.au to save time or simply turn up to the first or second rehearsal. Children accompanied by parents are especially welcome. Be part of the City of Sydney’s Christmas celebrations in 2025.
