Handel Choir of Baltimore and Baltimore Chamber Orchestra
Handel Choir of Baltimore and Baltimore Chamber Orchestra will open our seasons with a special combined concert followed by a celebratory reception for musicians and the entire audience. Handel Choir begins its 74th year and Baltimore Chamber Orchestra begins its 26th year — that’s 100 years between the two ensembles!
Baltimore Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Markand Thakar, is the premier chamber orchestra in the
Mid-Atlantic region. Handel Choir and Baltimore Chamber Orchestra collaborated in February 2008 to
present the world première of the critically acclaimed Requiem for the Fallen by Jonathan Leshnoff,
which Handel Choir of Baltimore commissioned.
