The performance begins at 8 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 3, in the College’s Wentz Concert Hall at the Fine Arts Center, 171 E. Chicago Ave., Naperville.

Along with the Naperville Chorus and Naperville Festival Orchestra, they will perform Wolfgang Mozart’s arrangement of "Messiah" to lend fresh appeal to an old favorite.
