The Handel and Haydn Society is Now Accepting Applications for Second Annual H+H CitySing

The Handel and Haydn Society and Artistic Director Jonathan Cohen have announced that applications are now open for the second annual H+H CitySing, welcoming 30 vocalists from around Boston to perform selected portions of Handel's Saul alongside the H+H Orchestra and Chorus at Symphony Hall on Oct 3 + 5. Debuted in November 2024 with Handel's Messiah, CitySing unites Boston's vibrant choral community and honors the inspiring, original “Society” spirit of H+H.

H+H seeks a diversity of voices for CitySing that reflects the breadth of choral singing in our region. Singers with a variety of experiences and vocal training are encouraged to apply. Selected participants will rehearse and perform with the H+H Orchestra and Chorus under the direction of Artistic Director Jonathan Cohen. Also on stage for the performances will be members of H+H Youth Choruses and five guest soloists.

“CitySing is a celebration of voices,” said Artistic Director Jonathan Cohen. “If you've ever dreamt of singing on stage in an iconic venue, this is a perfect opportunity to be part of a riveting work surrounded by professional musicians who are experts in H+H's specialty of historically informed performance.”

CitySing application materials are due on or before Saturday, May 31, 2025. Eligibility and application process information can be found at: handelandhaydn.org/citysing.
