We are truly blessed to have the HWE in our community. We attendees are dealing with many issues when we arrive to your concerts. Some have lost loved ones, some are dealing with health and financial issues, etc, etc. But for an hour and a half, you lessen the troubles of many. You provide outstanding music to our ears, ease our minds, and most importantly, you touch our hearts.
From the classics of Bach to modern works from Whitacre, the HWE performs exceptional music for the community. Check out the complete repertoire list at the linked Google doc and see some highlights of past performances below.
