Mixed Voice Community Ensemble

Based in Baltimore, MD

Handel Choir of Baltimore was founded by singers who performed Mendelssohn's Elijah with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra in 1934. Interested in promoting and performing classical choral-orchestral music, the original members chose Handel as their namesake and Messiah for their first performance, inaugurating an annual performance tradition which has continued uninterrupted.

The Choir has presented masterpieces of the choral and choral-orchestral repertoire as well as music new to Baltimore audiences. Rather than performing in a fixed venue, the Choir is proud to present subscription concerts in a variety of concert halls, churches and synagogues throughout the metropolitan area. Frequent informal performances during the year include concerts for retirement communities, civic events and educational programs. The Handel Choir vocal ensemble is a community-based auditioned ensemble of forty to fifty singers, each of whom pays dues and purchases their own music for the privilege of singing.

Founded - 1934.   Auditioned.
