The Handel and Haydn Society hosted its annual fundraiser, "The Society Ball" on 04/25 at the Mandarin Oriental. The evening featured performances by the Society's youth chorus and professional ensemble, while honoring long-time Board of Governors member Debbie First for all her contributions to Handel and Haydn and other Boston area non-profits. Proceeds from the Gala will benefit the Society's Karen S. and George D. Levy Education Outreach Program which provides music appreciation opportunities for 10,000 children annually.
