Maricopa Music Circle and Maricopa Chorus had a full house at Maricopa Agricultural Center for their annual Holiday Musicale, performing seasonal favorites while artist Kaui Wilson created a painting of a winter scene throughout the concert. Members of the audience joined in the singing of the Hallelujah chorus from Handel’s Messiah in what has become a Christmas tradition. Maricopa Chorus will be featured Feb. 1 in the second half of Maricopa ArtsFest at Maricopa Performing Arts Center.
