Arguably one of the most famous choral works in the world is being given an Easter airing by the Worthing Philharmonic Choir.
The choir is teaming up with the Sinfonia Of Arun under the direction of conductor Donovan Brown to perform Handel's Messiah. The work, with its famous Hallelujah chorus, was premiered in April 1742 at the Dublin Music Hall and has been a regular favourite on concert programmes ever since.
Joining the choir will be special guest soloists soprano Sarah Corp, tenor Charles Wood, bass Edward Grint, continuo Marcus Martin and Chilean contralto Mariselle Martinez.
Worthing Philharmonic Choir was formed in 1935 by Herbert Lodge, and played its debut concert the following year.
