Handel and Haydn Society

For the first time, Handel and Haydn Society (H+H) has teamed up with Brooklyn-based collective ChamberQUEER to highlight queer history through a dynamic program of historic and contemporary Baroque music.

The Handel and Haydn Society has named violinist Carmen Lavada Johnson-Pájaro and violinist/violist Amelia Sie as its inaugural Stone Fellows. The Stone Fellowship is designed to provide opportunities in classical music for groups that have been historically marginalized in the field. 

The Handel and Haydn Society has launched the H+H Stone Fellowship, a fellowship for emerging musicians working with period instruments in baroque and classical genres.

This year, the Handel and Haydn Society celebrates the 160th anniversary of their first Emancipation Proclamation Concert.

On Friday, Oct. 8 and Sunday, Oct. 10, the Handel and Haydn Society opens its 2021-22 season at Symphony Hall. The program highlights “Suite for String Orchestra,” a piece the organization commissioned composer Jonathan Woody to create based on the works of Black composer Charles Ignatius Sancho.
