Experience the joy of singing — or just come listen — during the 14th annual Tom McAlexander Community Sing-Along featuring portions of Handel’s “Messiah.”
The sing-along event at 4 p.m. Dec. 23 at the Church of the Holy Cross, located at 440 W. Lanikāula St., adjacent to the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo, will be filled with uplifting music from the holiday classic, including the “Hallelujah” chorus.
You are the chorus, if you want to participate. Bring your own score or borrow one at the door.
