Handel Aria Competition

Handel Aria Competition The Handel Aria Competition is an event for emerging talented singers of Handel's operas and oratorios.

The concert was free and open to the public, and featured the 8 finalists selected from a field of 48 singers from across the US and Canada who auditioned.

Frank Lloyd Wright loved music, and he played the piano well. In particular, he admired the works of Bach and Beethoven and often talked about them in relationship to his own work. This MBM program will be an immersive experience in which the audience can sit in Frank Lloyd Wright’s 1951 Madison masterpiece, the Unitarian Meeting House (on its 75th anniversary) while enjoying the music of Bach and Beethoven. We hope you’ll join us May 9&10! Tickets are available on our website: madisonbachmusicians.org
