About Us
Hinesburg Artist Series was created because its founder, Rufus Patrick, wanted to provide a performance venue for one of his talented ex-students from Burlington High School, Guillaine Senecal. The first HAS concert was held on March 16, 1997 at the United Church of Hinesburg with a 40-voice chorus and a 12-piece orchestra where they performed Rutter’s Requiem.
With enthusiastic support from the community, the Series continued to develop and grow to encompass the South County Chorus, the Hinesburg Community Band, In Accord a cappella singers and the ad hoc HAS orchestras.
In 2004 the Hinesburg Artist Series became a 501(c)(3) organization and the governing body for South County Chorus (SCC), the Hinesburg Community Band (HCB), and In Accord (IA).

Performances
Regular choral and band concerts are presented throughout the year. The annual Christmas concert is a much anticipated local tradition, drawing a full house in any weather. Many concerts feature local and world-renowned musicians.
Education
In the past HAS expanded musical offerings in CSSU schools through our Educational Outreach grants. These have ranged from music lessons, a composition club, purchasing and maintaining instruments to broaden the band population that is served.
