Handel and Haydn Society 2012–2013 Season Annual Report1
Chairman Nicholas Gleysteen
It gives me great pleasure to look back upon another extraordinary season
at the Handel and Haydn Society (H&H). H&H’s success is due to the vision
and hard work of our entire team, and made possible through the continued
growth and support of our generous donors and patrons. I must extend my
sincerest thanks to our community for being a part of our journey.
The new Strategic Plan, completed in October 2012, will guide Handel and
Haydn through the next five years and beyond the 2015 Bicentennial. I am
pleased to report that H&H has already begun implementation of important
artistic and educational initiatives, enhancing H&H’s presence in our diverse
Boston communities as we plan for the Bicentennial celebrations.
H&H’s commitment to artistic excellence, and to sharing that excellence
with audiences far and wide, inspires me and the Board to continue to find
innovative ways to support stable growth for the organization, which gave
top-notch performances all season.
We closed the 2012–2013 Season with extraordinary performances and a
balanced budget. Artistic Director Harry Christophers and Executive Director
and CEO Marie-Hélène Bernard have demonstrated clear vision and sound
leadership, which will ensure the long-term success of Handel and Haydn.
With their guidance, the hard work and dedication of the exceptional
musicians and staff, and the generosity of our Governors, Overseers, and
patrons, H&H plans to continue a robust and thrilling journey towards the
Bicentennial.

Handel and Haydn Society 2012–2013 Season Annual Report
Executive Director/CEO Marie-Hélène Bernard
The 2012–2013 Season was a season of great achievement for the Handel
and Haydn Society. Two record-breaking million-dollar contributions—the
largest gifts in H&H’s history—the completion of a five-year Strategic Plan,
a tour to the West Coast, exceptional performances, and life-transforming
education programs are only a handful of the notable triumphs of the year.
The new Strategic Plan (2012–2017) sets institutional priorities to solidify
H&H’s artistic stance and deepen its roots in the community. The plan
positions H&H to continue to invest in artistic innovation and community
programming, and to remain one of the most forward-looking organizations
in Boston and on the global music scene.
Handel and Haydn continues to be engaged in the community through
outreach and partnerships. Already-existing programs with the New England
Conservatory, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston Public
Library branches, Boston Children’s Museum, Massachusetts College of Art
and Design, and Boston Youth Symphony Orchestra were complemented
by new collaborations with the Concord Museum, Peabody Essex Museum,
and the Museum of African American History. In addition to a classroom
presence, lectures, and symposium, H&H presented more than 40 concerts
this season (nine-program concert subscription series).
This season marked the 15th Anniversary of the Young Women’s Chorus
(YWC), an important component of the Vocal Apprenticeship Program.
Founded in 1998, YWC is an ensemble of 70 young women between the ages
of 14–18 who come from more than 40 communities in Massachusetts and
New Hampshire.
Harry Christophers and the Period Instrument Orchestra and Chorus
received acclaim from audiences and critics alike, here in New England and
in California. Their vision and talent bring an unparalleled level of excellence
to the music they perform. The support of our Board of Governors, Board
of Overseers, staff, donors, and patrons has set H&H on a course to the
Bicentennial and to a future that ensures the institution will continue to
flourish.

Handel and Haydn Society 2012–2013 Season Annual Report3
About the Handel and Haydn Society
The mission of H&H is to enrich life and
influence culture by performing Baroque
and Classical music at the highest levels
of artistic excellence and by providing
engaging, accessible, and broadly inclusive
music education programs and training
activities. H&H’s Period Instrument Orchestra
and Chorus present live and recorded
historically informed performances of this
repertoire in ways that stimulate the musical
and cultural development of our Greater
Boston community and contemporary
audiences across the nation and beyond.
The Handel and Haydn Society was
founded in March 1815 by a group of Boston
merchants and musicians as a choral society
to promote the love of good music and
a better performance of it. The founders
hoped to bring to audiences the best of
the old (Handel) and new (Haydn). H&H’s
history is intertwined with the nation’s
cultural development. It gave the American
premieres of many choral masterworks (e.g.,
Handel Messiah [1818], Haydn The Creation
[1819], Bach St. Matthew Passion [1879]), and
played an active role in civic life.
Today, H&H is considered America’s oldest
continuously performing arts organization
and one of the nation’s preeminent choral
and period instrument ensembles. H&H’s
core activities include a nine-program series
at Symphony Hall (its home since 1900),
Jordan Hall, and Sanders Theatre. Each
season, it programs well- and lesser-known
works to engage audiences in the broad
range of Baroque and Classical repertoire. Its
unique versatility allows it to present intimate
a cappella music, chamber music, and major
masterworks. The 2012–2013 Season included
H&H’s 159th annual performances of Messiah,
a Boston tradition since 1854. H&H regularly
features international guest artists, and
employs the region’s finest period instrument
players and singers, including many young
4
professional musicians who represent the
next generation of leading artists. H&H has
a $3.5 million operating budget and a $4.5
million endowment. It is led by Boards of
36 Governors and 33 Overseers, and has
a team of 23 staff members (18 full time,
3 part time). H&H’s orchestra includes 24
tenured period instrument specialists and 50
first-call players, and its chorus comprises 36
of the area’s finest professional singers.
H&H made its European debut in 1996.
Recent tours have taken the ensemble to
the Haydn Festival (Austria, 2006), the BBC
Proms (London, 2007), and to the West
Coast (Berkeley, Los Angeles, and Santa
Barbara, 2013). It won a Grammy award
in 2003, and, in 2005, two H&H choral
recordings were on the Billboard top 10
classical music chart. Its first recording with
Harry Christophers, Mozart Mass in C Minor,
was released by CORO in 2010, followed
by Mozart Requiem (2011), and Mozart
Coronation Mass (2012).
Bicentennial
In 2015, H&H will celebrate its 200th
anniversary. Ambitious plans are already
in place for the Bicentennial celebration,
including the commission of a new work
for chorus, free concerts for the Boston
community, expanded educational outreach
initiatives, special lectures, an exhibit and a
book, and recording projects.
Strategic Plan (2012–2017)
In its Strategic Plan adopted in the fall of
2012, H&H established the following core
commitments and strategic ambitions:
Handel and Haydn Society 2012–2013 Season Annual Report
Core Commitments:
•As a performing arts organization of the
21st century, H&H’s primary roles are to
perform and educate while serving as a
resource center and community partner.
•Excellent historically informed
interpretations transform how audiences
experience Baroque and Classical music.
•Learning opportunities throughout all of
H&H’s activities enrich audience experiences;
help bridge the gulf between performers
and audience; and foster a healthy, vibrant
local environment for the performance of
historically informed music.
•Creativity, inclusiveness, and accessibility
are vital to sustaining H&H as a thriving
nonprofit—a Boston-based performing arts
organization that attracts a broad, global
audience.
Strategic Ambitions:
The plan outlines the following four
strategic ambitions:
Artistic Excellence and Reputation: Achieve
a global reputation as America’s most
innovative historically informed performance
ensemble with the finest Period Instrument
Orchestra and Chorus, known for vibrant
and compelling programming and for
excellent and engaging live and recorded
performances of Baroque and Classical
music.
Education: Educate people of all ages to
strengthen the cultural community and
develop current and future generations of
Baroque and Classical music audiences and
performers. Provide engaging music training
programs and stimulating educational
activities for children and adults. Promote
inclusiveness and accessibility, regardless of
participants’ knowledge of or background in
music.
Community: Establish H&H as an
indispensable element of Boston’s cultural
landscape with a broad, dynamic, and
engaged audience that reflects the diversity
of the community.
Institutional Culture and Capacity: Promote
a Society culture of inclusiveness, cohesion,
and excellence, making H&H among the most
desirable nonprofit organizations to work for
and support. Have one of the most active
and committed boards. Be a model of best
practice and sustainability in the nonprofit
sector and a respected leader in the Boston
arts community.

The 2012–2013 Season nine-program
subscription series reached unparalleled
artistic heights under the leadership of
Harry Christophers, in his fourth season
as Artistic Director. Christophers crafted a
season featuring fine gems from the Baroque
and Classical eras, and invited esteemed
colleagues and partners to lead four of the
nine programs.
H&H opened its 2012–2013 Season on
October 12 and 14, 2012, with Harry
Christophers leading the H&H ensemble in an
all-Bach program, including the Orchestral
Suite No. 3, Cantata 71 and excerpts from
other cantatas, and the Magnificat in D Major.
Outstanding soloists from the H&H orchestra
and chorus made for a resounding opening
to the season.
In December, Christophers was joined by
an exceptional quartet of guest artists—
soprano Karina Gauvin, countertenor Daniel
Taylor, tenor James Gilchrist, and baritone
Sumner Thompson—for H&H’s 159th annual
performances of Handel’s Messiah. Later in
the season, H&H brought selections from
the theatrical oeuvres of brothers Henry and
Daniel Purcell to Jordan Hall and Sanders
Theatre with soloists from the H&H chorus,
along with guest artists Jonathan Best,
bass-baritone, and Zachary Wilder, tenor.
This program, which highlighted the hilarious
“Scene of the drunken poet” from Henry
Purcell’s The Fairy Queen, drew impressive
cheers from an enthusiastic audience.
H&H offered an all-Haydn program at
Symphony Hall in February, with the nuanced
Symphony No. 6, Le matin, and the rustic
Symphony No. 82, The Bear, as well as the
Overture to L’isola Disabitata. The program
also featured concertmaster Aisslinn Nosky’s
H&H debut as both leader and soloist in
Haydn’s Violin Concerto in G Major. This
colorful program was recorded live for
commercial release on the CORO label in
September 2013.
In April, the H&H Period Instrument
Orchestra and Chorus embarked for a
week-long California tour to share Handel’s
Jephtha and Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons with
audiences in Berkeley (Cal Performances),
Los Angeles (Walt Disney Concert Hall),
and Santa Barbara (UCSB Arts & Lectures).
This was H&H’s first tour to California since
1996. It received praise for performances “…
nothing short of stunning in their precision
and dramatic urgency” (Classical Voice
Review, Los Angeles).
Upon returning to Boston, Christophers,
the H&H Period Instrument Orchestra and
Chorus, and four dazzling guest artists
closed the 2012–2013 Season with two more
performances of Jephtha at Symphony
Hall on May 3 and 5, 2013. H&H and the
guest artists—tenor Robert Murray, mezzosoprano Catherine Wyn-Rogers, soprano
Joèlle Harvey, and countertenor William
Purefoy, along with chorus members
baritone Woodrow Bynum and soprano
Teresa Wakim—received great acclaim from
audiences and critics alike.
The season also included four concert
programs led by guest conductors, all with
close ties to H&H. In November, Bernard
Labadie led an instrumental program that
included challenging symphonies by lesserknown composers Joseph Martin Kraus and
Henri-Joseph Rigel, along with H&H core
composers Haydn and Mozart. In December,
Associate Conductor and Chorusmaster John
Finney conducted three cantatas from Bach’s
glorious Christmas Oratorio to a sold-out
Jordan Hall. Richard Egarr returned in March
to Symphony Hall to continue a cycle of
Beethoven symphonies with the Symphony
No. 7. The program opened with Mozart’s
Masonic Funeral Music, and also featured
H&H principal clarinetist, Eric Hoeprich, on
basset clarinet in Mozart’s enduring Clarinet
Concerto. Finally, in April, H&H principal
harpsichordist, Ian Watson, led his fellow
players at Jordan Hall in Vivaldi Virtuosi, a
collection of works by composers connected
to Italy and the Italian style. Members of
the H&H orchestra played works by Vivaldi,
Durante, Avison, and Geminiani, with the
latter’s La Follia concerto grosso closing the
program to roaring applause.
Partnerships
Collaborations with educational and cultural
institutions in the Greater Boston area
remained important to H&H. At MIT, H&H
musicians provided in-class performances,
and Q&As, demonstrating period instruments
and performance techniques. For the second
year, the H&H Chorus performed with the
Boston Youth Symphony Orchestra when
Federico Cortese conducted Verdi’s opera
Rigoletto at Sanders Theatre in January 2013.
H&H’s partnership with the New England
Conservatory continued with the Conducting
Apprenticeship in Period Performance,
in which three NEC master’s in orchestral
conducting candidates, Sarah Kidd, Matthew
Szymanski, and Lio Kuok-Man, spent a week
each with Harry Christophers, Bernard

Labadie, and Richard Egarr. H&H’s other
outreach efforts included performances
and instrument demonstrations at the
Boston Children’s Museum, the Peabody
Essex Museum, and Concord Museum.
H&H continued to perform programs
outside its subscription season. The 2012–
2013 Season included two performances
of a Baroque instrumental program led by
Ian Watson: in February, H&H performed
for the first time at Tufts University’s
Granoff Music Center; and in June, H&H
musicians made a repeat appearance at
the Connecticut Early Music Festival at
Connecticut College’s Evans Hall in New
London.
Broadcasts and Recording Highlights

While the Handel and Haydn Society’s
music is rooted in the past, its place in
the musical present is vital and dynamic.
Handel and Haydn’s formal outreach
initiatives began in 1985 with its Karen S.
and George D. Levy Educational Outreach
Program. A leader in vocal music education
for grades 3–12 for 27 years, the program
now reaches 10,000 children each year,
many in underserved communities, with
programming that includes introductory
exposure to music history and concepts,
rigorous choral training, music theory
instruction, and performance opportunities.
Greater Boston public schools and New
England Conservatory Preparatory School
are longtime collaborators.
In-School Performances
Handel and Haydn Society’s Vocal
Quartet and pianist entertain and teach
young audiences with their colorful
interpretations of music of various
composers and historical eras. Vocal
Quartet performers engage students
with humor, dialogue, singing, and acting,
and take them on an extraordinary and
interactive musical journey.
Handel and Haydn Society’s professional
Vocal Quartet and pianist presented 43
free performances of Voices of History
and Voices of the Stage at no cost to
public schools in the Greater Boston area,
including those that serve students with
learning disabilities. The Quartet also
participated in WGBH’s annual Classical
Cartoon Festival at Symphony Hall in
October 2012.
Teaching Artists in Residence
In 2012–2013 H&H deepened its
commitment to making music education
accessible to students in the Boston
schools. It embarked on its first public
school partnership at the Joseph E.
Lee School in Dorchester, where H&H
soprano and music educator, Sonja DuToit
Tengblad, led a hands-on, multidimensional
after-school program for students in
grades 3 and 5 in the school’s extendedday enrichment program.
Collaborative Youth Concerts
Collaborative Youth Concerts provide
students a sense of achievement and
musical ownership in ways that traditional
youth concerts do not. Carefully paired
high school choruses from various
school districts perform in their own
neighborhoods alongside members of
the Handel and Haydn Society Period
Instrument Orchestra and Education
Program Vocal Quartet, led by Associate
Conductor, John Finney.
Collaborative Youth Concerts reached their
26th season in 2012–2013. Since 1987, high
school choruses from Belmont, Boston,
Brockton, Danvers, Lawrence, Lynn, New
Bedford, Newton, and North Quincy
Handel and Haydn Society 2012–2013 Season Annual Report
have performed masterpieces by Bach,
Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Purcell, Schubert,
and Vivaldi with H&H’s Period Instrument
Orchestra and vocal soloists. This season,
John Finney conducted 221 students
from Boston Latin School, Brockton High
School, and Lawrence High School in
performances of Handel’s Utrecht Te Deum
with members of H&H’s Period Instrument
Orchestra and Vocal Quartet. The concerts
took place on February 14 at Boston Latin
School and March 11 at Brockton High
School. Ninety-four singers from the three
high schools performed excerpts from the
Te Deum at the Beethoven Symphony No.
7 concerts at Symphony Hall on March 15
and 17, reaching a combined audience of
over 4,500 people.
Vocal Apprenticeship Program (VAP)
Established in 1994, VAP inspires students
in grades 3–12 each year to sing, learn, and
smile. VAP is one of H&H’s most important
educational initiatives, addressing the
needs of a special group of talented urban
youth—those for whom the study of music
outlines a path toward higher education
and possibly a career in music. The
program provides intensive study in voice,
music theory, and choral performance
opportunities, along with the mentoring
and guidance these young singers need in
order to reach their full musical, academic,
and personal potential. VAP includes five
distinct components:
Youth Chorus (grades 6–8) features nearly
50 singers of diverse backgrounds from
27 Massachusetts communities. Repertoire
includes classical music, folksongs, and
world music. Heather Tryon, conductor.
Young Men’s Chorus (grades 8–12) is
for boys with changing to changed
voices who are ready for a vigorous
and musically challenging experience.
Repertoire includes classical, popular,
and multicultural music. Enrollment in
the chorus continues to grow, now with
30 young men representing 21 cities and
towns. Joseph Stillitano, conductor.
Young Women’s Chorus (grades 9–12)
features more than 70 singers from 31
Massachusetts and New Hampshire
communities. The ensemble is for girls who
have achieved a high level of musicianship
and reading skills. Repertoire includes
classical music, folksongs, spirituals, and
popular music. Alyson Greer, conductor.
High School Soloists is a pre-professional
training program that provides students
with private vocal instruction at New
England Conservatory, masterclasses,
diction and vocal chamber music
Singers (grades 3–5) is a fun and engaging
experience for children who show strong
interest in music and show vocal promise.
The ensemble, comprising almost 40
singers from 14 communities, sings unison
and two-part songs in a variety of musical
styles, and receives early exposure to
classical vocal music. Heather Tryon,
conductor.

returned to H&H this season, with 13.6%
first-timers attending a second concert—up
more than 2% from the same-season return
rate of last season.
An increased emphasis on technology
and new media resulted in improved
response rates from the audience. H&H’s
website continued to evolve in order to
improve navigation and ease of use, and
e-communications and social media efforts
used targeted efforts to drive web traffic.
Web averages (clickthroughs, number of
visits, time spent on site) all increased,
and “open” and “clickthrough rates” on
e-communications exceeded industry
standards.
Ambassador Program
The Ambassador program is a stewardship
and cultivation program for subscribers. It
is designed to welcome new subscribers,
cultivate existing ones, and ultimately
deepen their connection with H&H. Under
the guidance of Overseer Nancy Hammer,
personal connections were made by
longstanding H&H community members
with new subscribers. Both new and
loyal subscribers were invited to special
events throughout the season, including
open rehearsals of Handel Messiah and
Handel Jephtha, and a standalone event
featuring a performance and discussion by
concertmaster Aisslinn Nosky.
H2 Young Professionals
Through special events and discount ticket
offers, H2 welcomes young professionals
and arts enthusiasts and allows them to

Host Committee, chaired by Overseer
Ben Kim, provided input and assisted
with promotion and on-site networking.
The Improper Bostonian served as the
media partner and Lucca Back Bay as the
restaurant partner for the H2 program.
The 2012–2013 Season’s H2 offerings
included four post-concert receptions at
Lucca Back Bay, each of which attracted
from 75 to more than 100 attendees,
showing growth from the already wellattended events of the previous season.
Post-concert events received coverage
in The Improper Bostonian. There were
540 patrons who self-identified as H2
members, an increase of more than 20%
from the previous year.
Heartstrings
Handel and Haydn Society provides
free tickets for its education program
participants and communities in
underserved areas to Symphony Hall
performances, giving them access to live
performing arts. The concert experience
connects students’ own work to H&H’s
professional performances. H&H also
invites public school students to daytime
dress rehearsals, where they can see the
musicians’ working process and interact
with artists. During the 2012–2013 Season,

Harry Christophers
Artistic Director
Marie-Hélène Bernard
Executive Director/CEO
Harry Christophers completed his fourth season as Artistic
Director of the Handel and Haydn Society with the 2012–2013
Season. Appointed in 2008, he began
his tenure with the 2009–2010 Season
and has conducted Handel and Haydn
each season since September 2006,
when he led a sold-out performance
in the Esterházy Palace at the Haydn
Festival in Eisenstadt, Austria.
Christophers and H&H have since
embarked on an ambitious artistic
journey with a showcase of works
premiered in the United States by
the Handel and Haydn Society since
its founding in 1815, and the release
of the first of a series of recordings
on CORO leading to the 2015
Bicentennial. Christophers is known
internationally as founder and conductor of the UK-based
choir and period instrument ensemble The Sixteen. He has
directed The Sixteen throughout Europe, America, and the
Far East, gaining a distinguished reputation for his work in
Renaissance, Baroque, and 20th-century music. In 2000, he
instituted the Choral Pilgrimage, a tour of British cathedrals
from York to Canterbury. He has recorded close to 100 titles
for which he has won numerous awards, including a Grand
Prix du Disque for Handel Messiah, numerous Preise der
Deutschen Schallplattenkritik (German Record Critics Awards),
the coveted Gramophone Award for Early Music, and the
prestigious Classical Brit Award (2005) for his disc entitled
Renaissance. In 2009, he received one of classical music’s
highest accolades, the Classic FM Gramophone Awards Artist
of the Year Award. The Sixteen won the Baroque Vocal Award
for Handel Coronation Anthems, a CD that also received a
2010 Grammy award nomination. Christophers is also Principal
Guest Conductor of the Granada Symphony Orchestra and a
regular guest conductor with the Academy of St. Martin in the
Fields. In October 2008, he was awarded an Honorary Degree
of Doctor of Music from the University of Leicester. He is an
Honorary Fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford and also of the
Royal Welsh Academy for Music and Drama, and was awarded
a CBE in the 2012 Queen’s Birthday Honours.
Marie-Hélène Bernard was appointed Executive
Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Handel
and Haydn Society in April
2007. A native of Québec, she
studied arts administration
at Concordia University
and law at the University of
Montréal. As an attorney,
she practiced corporate, tax,
and intellectual property
laws in Canada and remains
a member of the Québec
Bar. She began her career
in orchestra management in
1996, having won a prestigious
Orchestra Management
Fellowship with the League of
American Orchestras that led
to residencies with the New York Philharmonic and The
Minnesota Orchestra. Over the succeeding ten years,
She served as Chief of Staff and Project Manager for
the Philadelphia Orchestra, Orchestra Manager for The
Cleveland Orchestra, and President and CEO of the
Canton (OH) Symphony Orchestra. She plays the viola
da gamba and her family is actively involved in early
music in Montréal. She serves on the Board of Directors
of Early Music America.

Christopher Hogwood
Conductor Laureate
Christopher Hogwood conducts repertoire ranging from the
Baroque to the contemporary, always with the prevailing
philosophy of revealing the original
sound-world of the composer.
Since founding the Academy of
Ancient Music in 1973, he has
gained international recognition
for his performances of Baroque
and early Classical repertoire with
period instruments. For more
than 40 years he has also been
performing music of the 20thcentury, with a particular affinity for
the Neo-Baroque and Neoclassical
schools. With modern symphony
and chamber orchestras, he
creates intriguing juxtapositions
of the new and the old (Tippett
and Corelli, Schoenberg and Handel, Webern and Bach),
and has directed premieres of works by European and
American composers. He has also encouraged the Academy
of Ancient Music to commission contemporary pieces, with
considerable successes with works by Sir John Tavener,
David Bedford, and John Woolrich. In addition to his
position as Emeritus Director of the Academy of Ancient
Music, he serves as Principal Guest Conductor of the Verdi
Orchestra Milan and the Kammerorchester Basel. He is in
the process of a completing a new edition of Mendelssohn’s
orchestral works for Bärenreiter, and this year he launched
his latest project as General Editor of the new Geminiani
Opera Omnia (Ut Orpheus, Bologna). He also sits on the
board of the C.P.E. Bach Complete Works Edition and the
Martinů Complete Edition. His academic positions include
Honorary Professor of Music at the University of Cambridge
and Professor of Music at Gresham College, London;
fellowships at Jesus and Pembroke Colleges, Cambridge;
Visiting Professor at the Royal Academy of Music; and
regular work at Harvard University.

Letter from the Treasurer
FY13 Financial Review
During the 2012–2013 Season (FY13), the Handel and Haydn Society received
exceptional donor and patron support, enabling H&H to offer programs
and concerts of extraordinary quality while expanding the activities of the
Karen S. and George D. Levy Educational Outreach Program. The Handel and
Haydn Society ended the fiscal year with an operating surplus of $68,734,
operating revenue of $3.71 million, and total unrestricted expenses of $3.65
million. Forty-three percent of operating revenue was generated from earned
revenue activities, while 57% came from contributed revenue. Overall, H&H
saw an increase in total unrestricted revenue of 12.8% over the previous fiscal
year. Unrestricted contributions from individuals and grants once again set
new giving records, totaling $2.08 million for the year, up 22%. Of this total,
The Society Ball generated $255,000 of net revenue, making it the most
successful benefit event in the 198-year history of the Handel and Haydn
Society.
Total expenses were $3.65 million, compared with $3.26 million in FY12.
Forty thousand dollars were invested to support strategic initiatives and
planning for the Bicentennial celebration. Direct expenses, which account
for more than two thirds of total expenses and include artistic, marketing
and box office operations, and the education program, were $2.29 million.
Indirect expenses (fundraising and administration) totaled $941,000.
Operating expenses were down 1%, or approximately $28,000, from FY12,
reflecting excellent expense control. In FY13, the Handel and Haydn Society
had 23 employees. Salaries and benefits are the largest functional expense,
representing 30% of costs (down from 32% in FY12).
H&H ended the year with assets of $8.54 million and liabilities of
approximately $778,000, compared with assets of $4.46 million and
liabilities of $706,000 in FY12. Unrestricted and temporarily restricted
current assets were $4.39 million, with current liabilities of approximately
$778,000. Operating cash flow continued to be positive, with year-end cash
totaling approximately ­­12% of total assests, compared to approximately 9%
­­ a
year earlier.
The total value of the endowment finished at $4.35 million on June 30, 2013,
compared with $3.17 million in 2012. Handel and Haydn did not use any
endowment earnings for operating activities in FY13.
