Rehearsals for the Binghamton Downtown Singers’ annual performance of Handel’s “Messiah” begin at 7 p.m. Sept. 15 at Sarah Jane Johnson Memorial United Methodist Church in Johnson City. Rehearsals will be 7-9:15 p.m. Sundays every week leading up to the Dec 14 concert. No auditions are required — just a love of singing and sharing beautiful music with the community. Being able to read music is useful but not necessary. Details: www.downtownsingers.org.
