Let’s spend an evening celebrating one of the things we love most at the High Note Society: great singing! We’ll gather for a Philadelphia Chamber Music Society recital featuring acclaimed American baritone Justin Austin.
Come early, because HNS founder Mike Bolton will be giving the pre-concert talk before the performance. Then we’ll settle in for an evening of song and the chance to experience a terrific singer in the intimacy of a recital.

Il trovatore
May 4, 2027
We’ll bring our High Note Society season toward a close with Verdi at full throttle! Join HNS friends at The Haverford School as the Resident Artists of the Academy of Vocal Arts take on Verdi’s Il trovatore.
For a group that loves great voices, it’s hard to imagine a more fitting way to end the season. Verdi asks just about everything of his singers in Il trovatore, and we’ll get to experience those young voices together.
