Don't miss out on the final opportunity this season to catch the legendary Handel and Haydn Society for a supremely reduced ticket price!
Here's what H+H has to say about the program capping off their 2024-25 season:
"End the 2024ā25 Season on a high note with three showstopping surprisesāmusic from the back catalogs of much-loved composers that just might become your new favorites. Kristian Bezuidenhout, known worldwide as one of todayās most exciting fortepianists, opens with Beethovenās Piano Concerto No. 4; Gramophone calls his recording āone of the finest, most deeply perceptive and thrilling performances of [the piece] on record.ā Next, incidental music from Mozart tells a stirring story of power, betrayal, and revenge. And finally, Jonathan Cohen takes you to the carnival with a Haydn symphony nicknamed for dancing bears: ferocious majesty meets unexpected delight."
More about H+H:
Bostonās Grammy-winning Handel and Haydn Society performs Baroque and Classical music with a freshness, a vitality, and a creativity that inspires all ages. Called āone of the most exciting ensembles of historically informed performances in the worldā (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 āHallelujahā chorus from Handelās 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 āThe Battle Hymn of the Republicā) 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.
