Host

Handel and Haydn

Groupmuse is thrilled to be partnering up with the legendary Handel and Haydn Society for their 2024-25 season to present a number of Nights Out concerts at supremely reduced ticket prices for our Groupmuse community members. But we've only got 20 tickets per show and they'll fly fast, so don't wait!

For the 171st consecutive year, H+H brings Boston together with the magic of Messiah, the greatest story ever told in song. This much-loved music fills Symphony Hall with new joy and passion in the voices of the H+H Chorus and Artistic Director Jonathan Cohen reprises his “seismic” rendition of this iconic celebration (The Boston Globe) alongside superstar soloists including Jeanine De Bique, “one of the most exciting sopranos to catch onstage these days” (OperaWire). Without a doubt, this is Boston’s must-see Messiah.

More about H+H:

Boston’s Grammy-winning Handel and Haydn Society performs Baroque and Classical music with a freshness, a vitality, and a creativity that inspires all ages. Called “one of the most exciting ensembles of historically informed performances in the world” (OperaWire), H+H has been captivating audiences for 210 consecutive seasons (the most of any performing arts organization in the United States), speaking to its singular success at welcoming new audiences to this extraordinary music, generation after generation.

H+H performed the “Hallelujah” chorus from Handel’s Messiah in its first concert in 1815, gave the American premiere in 1818, and ever since has been both a musical and a civic leader in the Boston community. During the Civil War, H+H gave numerous concerts in support of the Union Army (H+H member Julia Ward Howe wrote “The Battle Hymn of the Republic”) and on January 1, 1863, H+H performed at the Grand Jubilee Concert celebrating the enactment of the Emancipation Proclamation. Two years later, H+H performed at the memorial service for Abraham Lincoln.

Children over the age of 5 are welcomed.

Seating is first come first served.

Groupmuse ticket buyers will check in at Will Call under their last names.
