~~~~~~~~~~~
50 young voices from The Treble Chorus of New England join the Chorale for the finale of the Handel oratorio. Since children feature prominently in this concert, it is a fitting occasion to celebrate the work of a great institution in our region. Horizons for Homeless Children again joins Masterworks Chorale as a community partner in this, the Chorale’s “Awareness Through Music” event.
Horizons for Homeless Children improves the lives of homeless children and their families across the state of Massachusetts through the provision of early education and care programs and parent support services. The agency also provides leadership in advocating for homeless children and their families through leveraging and sharing expertise with others and advocating with policy makers and the public.
