About this organization
Mission
The mission of the Handel and Haydn Society is to inspire the intellect, touch the heart, elevate the soul and connect all of us with our shared humanity through transformative experiences with Baroque and Classical music.
About
The Handel and Haydn Society's 2017-2018 season featured renowned conductors and professional musicians in innovative, interdisciplinary programs that showcased repertoire of the Baroque and Classical eras. H+H's period instrument orchestra includes 24 tenured musicians and a pool of 50 additional first-call players, all specially trained in the historically informed performance of music from the late 17th through early 19th centuries. The 70-member professional H+H chorus is equally accomplished and features some of the most talented singers on the east coast. These artists perform more than 20 concerts each year including the annual performance of Handel's Messiah at Symphony Hall, a 166-year-old tradition. The society's concert series reaches 35,000 audience members annually.
