About this Event
Now’s your chance to lift your voice in song, as we present the ever-popular “Messiah from Scratch!” Come join a team of some of Victoria’s best singers and instrumentalists and add your voice to the stirring choruses of Handel’s iconic masterpiece – this year featuring the full heft of the Victoria Symphony. No experience necessary. “Messiah from Scratch!” distills Handel’s joyful masterpiece to its Christmas essentials for maximum fun: Angels, shepherds abiding in their fields, exalted valleys, a Saviour born and, of course... a Hallelujah Chorus.
