George Frideric Handel wrote the music in 1741, with text created by his musical collaborator, Charles Jennens. Jennens drew from his understanding of the Bible and, in particular, the Old Testament, to write the libretto. The choral work was last performed
in an abbreviated version — the actual work has three parts and 16 scenes — was last performed in the city in December 2013 by Thompson Valley Community Orchestra and Choir. Vivace Chorale and the Brandenburg Orchestra have performed together in the past — last year they presented The Creation by Joseph Haydn and in 2014 performed Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Great Mass.
Joining them for Messiah will be soprano Carlene Wiebe, alto Ingrid Mapson, tenor Paul Moore and bass Jim Floris. The 7 p.m. performance will be at Calvary Community Church, 1205 Rogers Way.

Before then, however, the two groups are looking for singers who want to audition for the choir. Anyone interested can call Vivace Chorale
