Today, through its learning and community programs, H+H reaches beyond the concert hall to engage with students and communities throughout Boston, ensuring the joy of music is accessible to all. In all these ways, H+H fulfills its mission 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. The Handel and Haydn Society brand reaches Boston and beyond: + 17 subscription series performances in Symphony Hall and NEC’s Jordan Hall, numerous H+H Youth Choruses concerts, and our free Emancipation Proclamation Concert at Trinity Church + 76,000 annual concertgoers and listeners through platforms such as CRB (radio) and Facebook Live streams + Touring engagements and artistic partnerships with Tanglewood, Carnegie Hall, the New York Philharmonic, Artis—Naples, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art

IN THE COMMUNITY The Handel and Haydn Society can help further your company’s community engagement goals through our partnership opportunities. Through community concerts, affordable and accessible ticket programs, and partnering with local schools and organizations, H+H contributes to creating an open and inclusive atmosphere for all people in the Greater Boston area. Since 2012, H+H has partnered with the Museum of African American History to present the annual Emancipation Proclamation Concert each New Year’s Eve. The performance features members of H+H’s professional chorus, and narrator Regie Gibson delivers readings from the Emancipation Proclamation. This free concert for the community attracts around 1,000 audience members each year. H+H believes that its concerts should be open to everyone, regardless of their socioeconomic status. In partnership with the Massachusetts Cultural Council, H+H is pleased to offer the Card to Culture program, which provides EBT cardholders with a significant discount, expanding cultural access to lower-income families. The H+H Masterpass offers a tremendous deal on a full season of concerts for college students all over Boston. For just $20, any college student can enjoy an entire season of Baroque and Classical music for less than a ticket to one movie. During one concert series each season, H+H partners with local, LGBTQ+-focused organizations to bring you H+H Pride, a special celebration of the diversity that makes Boston great. Our H+H Youth Choruses (HHYC) are fantastic all by themselves, but when they partner with choral programs at area public schools, you get something special— the HHYC Chorale Festival. Chorale Festival participants will perform with the H+H Orchestra at Symphony Hall. Launching in 2026, this one-day festival is more than a concert—it’s an investment in the future of music learning.
