Auditions

Led by Artistic Director and Conductor Brian Bartoldus, the critically acclaimed Handel Choir of Baltimore brings together excellent singers and musicians from across the mid-Atlantic region to perform repertoire ranging from early music to newly commissioned works. The ensemble performs three subscription concerts per season (September through May), including Handel’s Messiah, which the Choir has performed every year since 1935.
