The Hinesburg Artist Series (HAS) was founded by Rufus Patrick in 1997 with a performance at the United Church in Hinesburg of the John Rutter Requiem by a 40-voice chorus, a 12-piece orchestra and Guilaine Senecal as the soprano soloist. With enthusiastic support from the community, the Series has continued to grow. In 2004 the Hinesburg Artist Series became a 501(c)(3) organization and the governing body for South County Chorus, the Hinesburg Community Band, and In Accord.

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. Grace Cloutier, harpist, Guy Piddington, trumpeter, and soloists Amy Frostman, Jon Gailmor, Gary Moreau, Jessica Allen, Beth Thompson, Jill Levis, Sarah Cullins, and Guilaine Senecal are some of the guest artists who have performed with us. In April, 2008 HAS hosted a concert by the legendary Swingle Singers.

Music education is another focus for the organization. HAS obtained grant money in the fall of 2009 to bring Grace Cloutier, a professional harpist, into the Hinesburg Community and Charlotte Central Schools in workshop settings to introduce students to the harp and talk to them about and what it is like to be a professional musician.
