Handel Week Festival
From the Artistic Director

Warmest of WELCOMES to the Handel Week Family! We, the artists, board, volunteers and listeners here at Handel Week prize Baroque masterpieces of music and especially the music of Handel. We present world-class readings of music in an opulent acoustic, all in a room with tremendous sight lines! We surround these in-person and virtual concerts with informative lectures, fascinating program notes and festive receptions. We reach out to young singers to learn what it is to be a professional musician through our Wells Choral Scholar program and we engage young Conductors to hone their craft with our Mark and Randi Ravitts Woodworth Award for young conductors. Welcome to our website and read here about our upcoming musical offerings!

Newsletter #2 - Announcing the Young Conductor Scholarship by Dennis Northway, Artistic Director
Hello Handel Week Family!We believe that a world class musical organization should support the young conductors of our future. With the critical support of Mark and Randi Ravitts Woodworth, in 2022 we initiated our young conducting fellowship. This is open to post-graduate conductors to hone their skills while leading a world-class festival concert ensemble. There is a generous stipend that accompanies this internship. Please help us spread the word! You can learn more about the 2022 recipient HERE and download the application form HERE.
You can still order our virtual concert online and enjoy it in your home today. Thank you for your support of our season and we look forward to telling you all about our next season in just ONE MONTH!! Stay tuned!!
