Handel & Haydn Society

The Handel and Haydn Society, founded in 1815, is one of America's oldest continuously operating performing arts organizations, with a dedicated mission to inspire the intellect, creativity, and emotions of audiences through Baroque and Classical music. Named after two iconic composers of the Baroque and Classical periods, George Frideric Handel and Joseph Haydn, the society has played a crucial role in America's musical history, introducing U.S. audiences to significant works that have since become staples of the classical music repertoire.

Based in Boston, Massachusetts, the Handel and Haydn Society is renowned for its historically informed performances of Baroque and Classical music, using period instruments and practices to bring a level of authenticity and historical faithfulness to their concerts. This approach has garnered them critical acclaim and a devoted following. Their recent releases, such as "Mozart: Violin Concertos, Vol. II (Live)" and "Haydn: Symphony No. 103 & Theresienmesse (Live)", showcase their commitment to the works of Mozart and Haydn, while also exploring a wide range of compositions within the Baroque and Classical canon. Through their performances, recordings, and educational outreach programs, the Handel and Haydn Society continues to enrich the cultural landscape and foster a deeper appreciation for classical music.
