The lecture series is part of the Handel and Haydn Society's Celebration 2009! season, which highlights the partnership of the Handel and Haydn Society and The Associates of the Boston Public Library. A chorus and period-instrument orchestra, the Handel and Haydn Society is an internationally recognized leader in the field of historical performance, a revelatory style that uses the instruments and techniques of the time in which the music was composed. Founded in 1815, the Society is America’s oldest continuously performing arts organization, with a longstanding commitment to excellence and innovation.
