Choir soloists, a handbell duo and the Los Robles Children’s Amadeus Choir will bolster the musical fare, which includes other sounds of the yule season.

Los Robles Master Chorale and Moorpark Symphony Orchestra perform the Christmas portion of Handel’s “Messiah,” Saturday at 8 p.m., and Sunday at 3 p.m., Moorpark College Performing Arts Center, 7075 Campus Road. $18 general, $12 senior citizens and students, $6 children 12 and younger.

EVENTS

Kwanzaa

Kwanzaa, the African American cultural holiday, is traditionally celebrated from Dec. 26 through Jan. 1. Each day highlights a single principle -- such as unity, self-determination and faith -- to teach a connectedness to African cultural identity. Cal Lutheran hosts a celebration of Kwanzaa. It features presentations by the NAACP Saturday School students, gospel music, dancers, ethnic food sales and artisans.
