2022 Handel Singing Competition

The composer George Frideric Handel was known to encourage and train young, unestablished singers, many of whom rose to fame as his star soloists. We continue Handel’s great tradition of nurturing talent through our Handel Singing Competition, which is presented as part of the annual London Handel Festival.

The Handel Singing Competition is open to all singers aged between 23-34 on 1 February 2022, and is a showcase for historically informed performances of Handel’s music.
