Hilliard choruses to lift voices in seasonal song

For many, Christmas isn't Christmas without Handel's “Messiah.” Listen to the uplifting work as performed by the 30-member Hilliard Community Chorus at 3:30 p.m. Dec. 19. The 45th annual concert will include four soloists and will be accompanied by a chamber orchestra. Those who arrive by 3 p.m. will also enjoy a performance of holiday music by the Hilliard Youth Chorus. Masks and vaccination are highly recommended but not required. Admission is free, with any donations going to the Hilliard Arts Council. (www.hilliardartscouncil.org)
