Why give?

  • ✽

    Bring Lasting Joy to Your Community

    Handel Choir is the second-oldest arts organization in Maryland, and the oldest continually-singing oratorio society. We have been presenting our annual Messiah in Baltimore in an unbroken streak since 1935!

  • ✽

    Support Local Artists and Musicians

    90% of the orchestral players we hire are local! We continually feature guest artists and soloists who reside here in our city, and we engage graphic designers, photographers, livestream techs, and more who live and work here in Baltimore.

  • ✽

    Be Part of Music’s Future

    As part of our mission to present music of the Baroque and Beyond, we frequently commission brand new works from both local and internationally-renowned composers and librettists.

  • ✽

    Fund Opportunities for Students

    Your contribution allows us to offer subsidized student tickets to all of our performances so that young music lovers can attend and enjoy a Handel Choir concert without a financial barrier.

  • ✽

    Allow Outreach to All Ages

    Handel Choir travels to provide performances in retirement homes throughout Baltimore city and the surrounding counties so that even those who may not be able to come to a performance venue can experience the impact of live music.

    Provide a Space for Everyone to Make Art

    Handel Choir is a third space for anyone to enjoy. Our members are professional singers and hobby musicians alike, of varied ages, backgrounds, identities, cultures, and more, united by a shared love of music.
