Saul

OCT 3 + 5 at Symphony Hall

Emotions run wild as Handel’s soaring score comes to life with the H+H Orchestra and Chorus, making “the past the living present” (Opera con Brio). The legendary battle of David and Goliath is just the beginning—what follows is a tragic descent fueled by jealousy and madness. Don’t miss your chance to see this titanic tale sewn together by fate and passion performed just as Handel would’ve heard it.

Beethoven Symphony no. 7

OCT 24 + 25 at Symphony Hall

“Full of grace and enthusiasm” (The Boston Musical Intelligencer), Jonathan Cohen and the H+H Orchestra breathe new life into a bold, all-Beethoven program. With rhythmic fire and unrelenting momentum, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 soars to new heights along with his Piano Concerto No. 3, performed with passion and heart by fortepiantist Tanguy de Williencourt. Don’t miss this thrilling fusion of intensity and grace, where every note from the H+H Orchestra shines with breathtaking clarity.

NOV 28 + 29 + 30 at Symphony Hall

It’s as Boston as Fenway Park. For the 172nd consecutive year, H+H presents Handel’s iconic Messiah, the greatest story ever told in song. This majestic music will rekindle joy and hope at Symphony Hall with the incomparable H+H Orchestra and Chorus under the “expert direction” (The Boston Globe) of Artistic Director Jonathan Cohen with renowned soprano Lauren Snouffer who’ll bring this soul-stirring story to life with “a lustrous tone” (Cincinnati Business Courier). Without a doubt, this is Boston’s must-see Messiah.
