The Handel and Haydn Society Youth Choruses (HHYC) welcomes young people interested in singing to join their ensembles March 30, 2024 at United Parish Church in Brookline.

Prospective students can join rehearsals for one of the seven different choruses HHYC offers, learn about musicianship classes, and connect with HHYC faculty. No prior music training is required. Interested families can RSVP now at HandelandHaydn.org/HHYC/Join/.

The H+H Youth Choruses is a collaborative community where singers aged 7–18 hone their craft, express their creativity, and make unforgettable memories alongside forever friends. Over its 30 years, HHYC has grown from a handful of dedicated young people to seven choruses welcoming more than 150 singers each semester. Through large- and small-group instruction, weekly musicianship classes, collaborations with leading professional ensembles, and international tours (including the 2024 HHYC tour throughout Austria), world-class faculty partner with these young artists to create a rigorous yet welcoming environment for musical and personal growth. Singers also treat H+H audiences to inspiring performances onstage at Symphony Hall and NEC's Jordan Hall, often joined by the H+H Orchestra and Chorus, sharing their passion for the living tradition of choral music.
