The Museum of African American History welcomes Handel and Haydn Society, America’s oldest continuously performing arts organization, back to the African Meeting House for a special all-vocal concert celebrating their 200th anniversary. Reginald Mobley leads members of the H+H Chorus in a broad selection of repertoire, from traditional spirituals to contemporary works, featuring music by African American composers.

Particularly noted for his “crystalline diction and pure, evenly produced tone” (Miami Herald), as well as “elaborate and inventive ornamentation” (South Florida Classical Review), Mobley is rapidly making a name for himself as soloist in Baroque, Classical, and modern repertoire. Not to be held to conventional countertenor works, he has a fair amount of non-classical performances under his belt. Not long after becoming a countertenor, several musical theatre productions engaged him in principal or secondary roles. A longtime member of the twice GRAMMY® nominated Miami based professional vocal ensemble, Seraphic Fire, Mobley also has had the privilege to lend his talents to H+H and other ensembles in the US and abroad, from the Portland Baroque Orchestra to Symphony Nova Scotia.
