2 HANDEL + HAYDN SOCIETY

DEAR FRIENDS,The 199th season of the Handel and Haydn Society was one of the most memorable in recent years. From Bach’s Mass in B Minor to Handel’s Samson, the 2013–2014 Season was a stunning platform for exceptional talent: H+H Concertmaster Aisslinn Nosky and Richard Egarr leading the Period Instrument Orchestra and Chorus in innovative programs; our youth choirs singing with pride from the stage of Symphony Hall; Har-ry’s majestic Messiah, which will be immortalized in an upcoming CD release; guest conductors Grant Llewellyn and Scott Metcalfe making the music of Haydn, Mozart, and Bach explode with expression; and a deeply moving pairing of Bach and Byrd showcasing H+H exceptional chorus. Under Harry’s visionary musical leadership, H+H is approaching its Bicentennial in peak artistic shape, and the critics have become more and more effusive in their praises.

Together with its distinguished record of artistic excellence, the remarkable quality of H+H is the vigor of its education and community programs — all the activity beyond and behind its busy life of concerts, tours, and recordings. H+H’s far-reaching initia-tives to cultivate young musicians and new audiences, along with its friendly openness to the larger cultural community, have offered outstanding models for other arts organizations. Providing in-school music education and choral programs, our school residencies at Boston’s John F. Kennedy Elementary School and the Joseph Lee School in Dorchester were recently cited in the Boston Globe as one such success story. (Beginning this fall, thanks to new foundation grants, H+H will expand the footprint of this exciting program to yet another underserved public school, the Michael J. Perkins School in South Boston.)

As the following pages of this report show, H+H is well on track — artistically, civically, and financially — to meeting the goals set out in 2012’s Five-Year Strategic Plan. With a budget of $4.1 million and an endowment of well over $6 million, H+H is on solid financial footing. In addition, it is growing its endowment and capabilities with a $12 million Capital Campaign, soon to be announced to the public. True to its legacy, H+H’s operating philosophy remains growth with purpose.

The essence of H+H today is no different from when it was founded in 1815: foster-ing better community. Thanks to the commitment and trust of our audiences, gifted musicians, dedicated staff, Board, and patrons, H+H continues to enrich the lives of Boston’s citizens through vibrant musical performance. With age, there has come tremendous strength — corroborated by Boston Magazine in its recent Best of Boston® issue: “The Handel and Haydn Society is not only the oldest continuously performing arts group in America, it’s also one of the best.”

The 199th Season

September 29, 2014



Founded in Boston in 1815, the Handel and Haydn Society (H+H) is considered America’s oldest continuously performing arts organization. It will celebrate its Bicentennial in 2015 with a series of special concerts and initiatives to honor 200 years of music making. Its Period Instrument Orchestra and Chorus are internationally recognized in the field of Historically Informed Performance, using the instruments and techniques of the com-poser’s time. Under Artistic Director Harry Christophers’ lead-ership, H+H’s Period Instrument Orchestra and Chorus present live and recorded historically informed performances of this repertoire in ways that stimulate the musical and cultural devel-opment of our Greater Boston community and contemporary audiences across the nation and beyond. H+H’s esteemed tradition of innovation and excellence began in the 19th century with the US premieres of Handel’s Messiah (1818), Haydn’s Creation (1819), Verdi’s Requiem (1878), and Bach’s St. Matthew Passion (1879). In 1967, Artistic Director Thomas Dunn transformed the chorus into a small, expert ensemble, and in 1986, Christopher Hogwood became Artistic Director and added period instrument performances. Music Director Grant Llewellyn (2001–2006) and Artistic Advisor Sir Roger

Norrington (2006–2008) continued this tradition, as Harry Christophers, appointed in 2008, does today.

H+H is widely known through its concert series; tours; 99.5 WCRB, NPR, and American Public Media broadcasts; and recordings. Its nine-program series, held at Symphony and Jordan Halls in Boston and Sanders Theatre in Cambridge, reaches nearly 3,000 subscrib-ers and over 18,000 single ticket attendees from throughout New England and beyond. It is one of only two music organizations in New England to regularly feature international guest conductors and soloists, and the only period ensemble in America to present a full-season series at a venue as large as Symphony Hall. It employs the region’s finest period instrument players and singers, including many who represent the next generation of leading artists.

In 2014, The New Yorker affirmed, “American classical music launched in earnest” at H+H 200 years ago, and the organization is still a “steady heartbeat for classical music in this country.” H+H has also recently been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, and Gramophone (UK). In 2011, The Hub Review (Boston) dubbed H+H “the best chorus in New England.” H+H made its European debut in 1996 at the

THE HANDEL AND HAYDN SOCIETY


Edinburgh International Festival with a fully staged production of Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice with the Mark Morris Dance Group. Recent tours have taken H+H to the Haydn Festival in Ester-házy, Austria, in 2006; to the BBC Proms Festival, London with Haydn’s Seasons, which the London Telegraph named one of the top musical events of 2007; and to Cal Performances in Berkeley and Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, California, with Handel’s Jephtha in 2013.

Over the past 20 years, H+H has presented interdisciplinary programs featuring dance, opera, jazz, and theater; collaborators have included the Mark Morris Dance Group, Chinese stage director Chen Shi-Zheng, Dave Brubeck, Chick Corea, and David McCullough. H+H won a Grammy award in 2003 for its recording of Tavener’s Lamentations and Praises, co-commissioned with Chanticleer, and in 2005 had two recordings on the Billboard top 10 classical music chart. Since its first recording collaboration with Harry Christophers on the CORO label, released in Septem-ber 2010, it has issued three live commercial recordings of works by Mozart — Mass in C Minor (2010), Requiem (2011), and Coro-nation Mass (2012) — as well as the critically acclaimed Haydn,

Vol. 1 (September 2013) and the best-selling Joy to the World: An American Christmas (October 2013). Timed expressly for the Bicentennial, Handel’s Messiah, recorded live under the direction of Harry Christophers at Boston’s Symphony Hall, will be released in October 2014 on the CORO label. A recording of Haydn’s The Creation is planned for release in 2015, also on CORO.

As a 21st-century performing arts organization, H+H’s primary roles are to perform and educate, and to serve as a community partner and resource center. Its Karen S. and George D. Levy Education Program, established in 1985, reaches 10,000 children each year through public school visits and chorus partnerships, in-school music instruction, five youth choruses, and pre-professional vocal training. H+H also maintains partnerships with cultural and higher education institutions, offers college students opportunities to learn about and develop mastery in Baroque and Classical music, and of-fers youth and adult education opportunities that include free con-certs and lectures at libraries, community centers, and museums.

The Handel and Haydn Society is supported in part by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency, and by the National Endowment for the Arts.


H+H’s 2013–2014 Season — its 199th — featured exceptional music-making of the highest artistic quality under the leadership of Harry Christophers, in his fifth season as Artistic Director. H+H and Harry Christophers opened the 2013-2014 Season on Sep-tember 27 and 29, 2013 with Bach’s monumental Mass in B Minor, featuring solos by members of the H+H Chorus, and closed with Handel’s great oratorio Samson, premiered in the US by H+H in 1848. Throughout the 199th season, H+H presented 25 subscrip-tion concerts at Symphony Hall, Jordan Hall, and Sanders Theatre. H+H reintroduced Holiday Sing, a holiday concert for the family featuring H+H Chorus and VAP choruses, led by John Finney. H+H was featured in the Celebrity Series’s 75th anniversary presenta-tion of Mark Morris’s new production of Handel’s Acis and Galatea (Mozart arrangement) at the Shubert Theatre and was invited to perform two concerts during the American Guild of Organists Boston Conference in June 2014. It traveled across New England to present a performance at the First Congregational Church in Hamilton, MA in celebration of the church’s 300th anniversary; a string program led by Concertmaster Aisslinn Nosky at the Port-land Ovations series, in Portland, ME; and a chamber performance in Portsmouth, NH. Season highlights include:

• 26 concerts were given in Greater Boston at the Boston Athenæum; Boston Chinatown Neighborhood Center; Concerts at the Point in Westport, MA; Concord Museum, MA; Harvard Club, King’s Chapel; Massachusetts Historical Society; Massachusetts Institute of Technology; the Museum of African American History; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Peabody Essex Museum; the Rockport Music Festival; and the Somerset Club. In addition,

H+H gave concerts as part of the Opening Our Doors Festival, the inaugural Boston ArtWeek, and the Boston Summer Arts Weekend Festival co-produced by WGBH and the Boston Globe.

• A creative partnership with MassArt wherein 54 junior class students in the Illustration Department created works of visual art inspired by Handel’s dramatic oratorio Samson. Twelve of the pieces were selected for display at the performances of Samson in May.

• Students from H+H’s Vocal Arts Program’s Young Women’s Chamber Choir and Young Men’s Chorus were featured in a pro-gram of Handel and Vivaldi at Symphony Hall in February 2013.

• 26,642 tickets (13,659 subscriber tickets and 12,983 single tickets) were sold throughout the season to subscription concerts.

• 30% of the audience was between the ages of 18-44 years old.

• Well over 7,500 people connected to H+H through lectures, chamber concert activities in non-traditional venues, and free access to performances at Symphony Hall, Jordan Hall, and other venues in Greater Boston.

• Through its Heartstring program, H+H offered 3,086 free concert tickets to public school students, education program families, and other underserved communities who would not otherwise attend a performance. Key partners included the Boston Chinatown Neighborhood Center, Boston Trinity Academy, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Hearth-Home, MassMentoring, the Old Colony YMCA of Brockton, and Rosie’s Place.

IN-SCHOOL PERFORMANCES

Handel and Haydn Society’s professional Vocal Quartet and pia-nist presented 59 free performances of What’s an Oratorio? at no cost to 48 public schools in the Greater Boston area, including those that assist students with learning disabilities. In addition, the Quartet participated in WGBH’s annual Classical Cartoon Festival at Symphony Hall in October 2013, and performed at the Boston Children’s Museum in June 2014.

SCHOOL RESIDENCIES

In 2013–2014, H+H expanded its public school partnership at the Joseph E. Lee School in Dorchester, where H+H soprano and music educator Sonja DuToit Tengblad led a hands-on, multidi-mensional after-school program to students in grades 3 and 4. In addition, through collaboration with Citizen Schools, H+H insti-tuted the Lee School’s first school choral program which serves students in grades 5–7 under the direction of teaching artist, Kilian Mooney. H+H brought weekly music instruction at no cost during the regular school day to all students in grades K2 and 1 at John F. Kennedy School as part of the students’ core curriculum. H+H soprano and music educator Jennifer Ashe provided stu-dents with a sequential program in music literacy and singing.

COLLABORATIVE YOUTH CONCERTS

Collaborative Youth Concerts completed their 27th season in 2013–2014. Since 1987, high school choruses from Belmont, Boston, Brockton, Danvers, Lawrence, Lynn, New Bedford, New-ton, and North Quincy have performed masterpieces by Bach,

Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Purcell, Schubert, and Vivaldi with H+H’s Period Instrument Orchestra and vocal soloists. This season, the program expanded to include the communities of Lunenburg and Peabody. John Finney conducted 345 students from Boston Latin School, Boston Arts Academy, Brockton High School, Lawrence High School for the Performing Arts, Lunen-burg High School, Lynn Classical High School, Lynn English High School, and Peabody Veterans Memorial High School in performances of Durante’s Magnificat, and two choruses from Handel’s Samson with members of H+H’s Period Instrument Orchestra and Vocal Quartet. The concerts took place on Feb-ruary 5 at Brockton High School, February 11 at Lawrence High School, and February 13 at the Boston Latin School. Ninety-four singers from the three high schools performed “Let Their Celestial Concerts All Unite” from Handel’s Samson at the Vivaldi Gloria concerts at Symphony Hall on February 21 and 23. The Collaborative Youth Concerts program reached a com-bined audience of over 5,000 people.

VOCAL ARTS PROGRAM

H+H enrolled 144 VAP students: 22 in Singers, 32 in Youth Chorus, 25 in Young Men’s Chorus, and 65 in Young Women’s Chorus. This season marked the debut of the Young Women’s Chamber Choir, which was comprised of 18 highly advanced singers selected from the Young Women’s Chorus. Twelve students were enrolled in the High School Soloists, all of whom also participated in the VAP choral program.

EDUCATION HIGHLIGHTS


Forty-eight percent of VAP students received financial aid and subsidies; 38 graduated in May, including students who had been in the program since 2006.

In addition to their annual winter and spring concerts, VAP ensembles presented nine concerts in the community, three of which were collaborations with other vocal and orchestral ensembles (youth, university, and professional). Highlights of the 2013-2014 school year included:

SEPTEMBER 28, 2013: Youth Chorus sang excerpts from Mozart’s Magic Flute in collaboration with the Boston Lyric Opera.
