Handel’s Messiah will get a slightly different spin next week when more than a half dozen Elgin-area orchestras and choirs come together to perform the holiday favorite and those in the audience get to add their voices as well.
There s one holiday tradition that without fail Elgin resident Mally Miceli never misses: participating in a sing-along Messiah. "For years, my family and I would trek to Chicago to participate in the annual sing-along," Miceli said. "About four years ago, we were driving back from the city and my daughter asked, why don t we do this in Elgin? "
Volunteers from numerous local organizations are preparing for the the inaugural Greater Elgin Sing-Along of Handel s Messiah. The free event will be held on Friday, Dec. 2, at 7 p.m. at Elgin Community College s Blizzard Theater.
