Handel Choir of Baltimore
Non-notable choir. The ensemble is known for an annual performance of Messiah by George Frideric Handel. Now there's a mark of distinction. &mdash;Wahoofive (talk) 23:54, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
 * It's also been performing for seventy years, which makes it notable in my book. Keep Tuf-Kat 00:02, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep a group that can get away with charging $20-40 tickets for performances (see its website). DDerby (talk) 02:35, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, meets WP:MUSIC 6; two albums on Brioso (, ; I can't get to Brioso's website right now, but they seem to be the classical equivalent of an "indie label") makes borderline WP:MUSIC 3; also notable as the oldest community choir in the state . I wish WP:MUSIC was better tailored to classical artists, but this one seems a clear keep on point 6 plus their history. &mdash; mendel &#9742; 15:47, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I proposed on the talk page (prior to this nom) adding something that allows groups with a long documented history of performances, specifically for orchestras and similar groups that may be very notable without meeting the other guidelines. Anyone who has any thoughts, feel free to stop by. Tuf-Kat 17:27, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
