Joyful Joyful feat. Handel’s Messiah ‘Hallelujah Chorus’

Christmas in Sydney has its own magic – twinkling lights, familiar melodies, and that moment when everyone stands together for the Hallelujah Chorus. This year, step into that tradition with Joyful Joyful, a powerful Christmas concert performed by the Australian Christian Orchestra and Choir.

Join us on Saturday 29 November 2025 at 7:30pm at the UNSW Science Theatre for an evening filled with beauty, awe and celebration. The night features cherished carols like Silent Night, Away in a Manger and Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, alongside stirring excerpts from Handel’s Messiah.

And at the centre of the night – the world premiere of Genesis of a Fallen World, a new oratorio by Jonathan Billingham exploring creation, fall and redemption through gripping orchestral and choral writing.
