MISSION The mission of the Handel and Haydn Society is to enrich life and influence culture by performing Baroque and Classical music at the highest levels of artistic excellence, and by providing engaging, accessible, and broadly inclusive music education and training activities. 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 development of our Greater Boston community and contemporary audiences across the nation and beyond.
CORE COMMITMENTS • As a performing arts organization of the 21st century, H+H’s primary roles are to perform and educate while serving as a resource center and community partner. • Learning opportunities throughout all of H+H’s activities enrich audience experiences, help bridge the gulf between performers and audience, and foster a healthy, vibrant local environment for the performance of historically informed music. • Excellent historically informed interpretations transform how audiences experience Baroque and Classical music. • Creativity, inclusiveness, and accessibility are vital to sustaining H+H as a thriving nonprofit — a Boston-based performing arts organization that attracts a broad, global audience.

2 HANDEL + HAYDN SOCIETY
The 199th Season
September 29, 2014
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; Harry’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 initiatives 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: fostering 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.”

2013 – 2014 SEASON ANNUAL REPORT 3
THE HANDEL AND HAYDN SOCIETY 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 composer’s time. Under Artistic Director Harry Christophers’ leadership, 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 development 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
4 HANDEL + HAYDN SOCIETY
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 subscribers 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
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 Esterházy, 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 September 2010, it has issued three live commercial recordings of works by Mozart — Mass in C Minor (2010), Requiem (2011), and Coronation 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 offers youth and adult education opportunities that include free concerts 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.
2013 – 2014 SEASON ANNUAL REPORT 5
SEASON HIGHLIGHTS 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 September 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.

John Finney conducted 345 students from Boston Latin School, Boston Arts Academy, Brockton High School, Lawrence High School for the Performing Arts, Lunenburg 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 February 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.
