About HHYC
According to the Handel and Haydn Society, the Handel and Haydn Society Youth Choruses are a collaborative community where Greater Boston’s young singers hone their craft, express their creativity, and make unforgettable memories alongside forever friends. These curious and courageous musicians gather to explore a dynamic repertoire of music spanning continents and centuries, a testament to their passion for the living tradition of choral music.
Over its 30 years, HHYC has grown from a handful of dedicated young people to eight choruses welcoming more than 150 singers each semester, ranging from ages 7 to 18 and from aspiring professional musicians to people whose singing experience starts and ends at “Happy Birthday.” Through large- and small-group instruction, weekly musicianship classes, collaborations with leading professional ensembles, and international tours (like our 2024 tour to Austria), world-class faculty partner with these young artists to create a rigorous yet welcoming environment for musical and personal growth — a chance for everyone to find their voice. Singers also treat H+H audiences to inspiring (and impressive) performances onstage at Symphony Hall — often joined by the H+H Orchestra and Chorus — throughout each subscription season, most recently appearing in Handel’s Messiah conducted by H+H Artistic Director Jonathan Cohen.
