HHYC Chorale festival

A celebration of young singers, community, and the transformative power of music.

About the Festival

The Handel and Haydn Society Youth Choruses proudly presents the inaugural Chorale Festival, a new initiative bringing together high school singers and music educators from across Massachusetts. The Festival provides students the opportunity to make music at the highest level, collaborate with professional musicians, and share the stage with the renowned H+H Orchestra.

The HHYC Chorale Festival is more than a concert—it’s an investment in the future of music education. By uniting students from across Massachusetts, the festival creates a supportive space where young singers can learn from expert mentors, build confidence, and experience the joy of performing at a professional level. At the same time, it strengthens school music programs by offering professional development for teachers and building connections across the choral community. Together, these experiences inspire a lifelong love of music and ensure the next generation of singers carries the tradition forward.

Through workshops, rehearsals, and a culminating public concert, the festival fosters artistry, connection, and lifelong passion for music-making.

Participating Schools

This program welcomes talented singers from:

  • Brockton High School

  • Framingham High School
