Persistent COVID restrictions are continuing to plague live performance, with singing and dancing to stay barred from venues until at least the end of February.
But Allegri Singers publicity officer Cameron Love said the group has big plans for April and onwards, should COVID die down.
"Plans are in place for a busy choral year, with the major events being performances of Handel's 'Messiah', scheduled for Saturday, 9 April in All Saints' Cathedral, Bathurst, and Sunday, 10 April in Holy Trinity Church, Orange," Mr Love said.
"This co-operative venture with the Orange Regional Conservatorium will comprise a full orchestra, around 100 choristers, and finest quality guest vocal soloists."
Other possible performances include as guest performers for the opening of a new church in Orange; Central West Choral Festival [date to be announced] and Blackheath Choir Festival in August.
Later in the year, concerts with a mixed program will be presented in the Uniting Church in Bathurst, and St. Raphael's Church in Cowra.
