Many things have changed in the last decade...
Too many to name in this post. One thing that has NOT changed is Handel Choir’s adventurous spirit. Handel Choir’s unique repertoire. Handel Choir’s... coolness, you might say.

In fact, in 2016 prominent Baltimore arts critic Tim Smith did say exactly this. “Listening to the Talbot work unfold at the Baltimore Basilica, I got the distinct impression that this ensemble has become the cool chorus in town.” - Handel Choir excels in Baltimore premiere of ‘Path of Miracles,’ The Baltimore Sun. (Linked in our story!)

Where and when can you hear this cool choir?

Tomorrow at St. Mark’s Lutheran church at 3pm, as we present our season finale:
Audacity, Electrified.
It will be cool.
We’ll see you there.
