Handel and Haydn Society

The Handel and Haydn Society is a professional chorus and period instrument orchestra and an internationally recognized leader in the field of Historically Informed Performance. Founded in Boston in 1815, the Society is the oldest continuously performing arts organization in the United States, with a long history of innovation: it gave the American premieres of Handel's Messiah (1818), Haydn's The Creation (1819), Verdi's Requiem (1878), Bach's Mass in B Minor (1887), and Bach's St. Matthew Passion (1889). The Society today, under the leadership of Artistic Director designate Harry Christophers, Artistic Advisor Sir Roger Norrington, Principal Conductor Grant Llewellyn, and Conductor Laureate Christopher Hogwood, is committed to its mission "to perform Baroque and Classical music at the highest levels of artistic excellence and to share that music with as large and diverse an audience as possible." The Massachusetts Cultural Council has lauded the organization for its "willingness to take risks and explore new musical horizons."
