HANDEL ISRAEL IN EGYPT

TBD

Overview

Harry Christophers and the H+H Orchestra and Chorus were made to tell this epic story of the Jewish people held captive. Our artists authentically realize Handel’s genius for musical painting—from the plagues God visited upon the Israelites’ Egyptian masters (watch for leaping frogs, ravenous locusts, fierce winds, bloody rivers) to their exodus to freedom and hymns of thanksgiving. This oratorio is a powerful reminder of the abused and persecuted in today’s world.

Symphony Hall will be closed to audiences through May 2021. Given this and the ongoing health directives from the Governor’s and Mayor’s offices, H+H is moving the rest of its season online. We look forward to resuming live, in-person performances as soon as it is permissible to do so. Learn more here.

Until then, H+H plans an active schedule of performances you can enjoy at home. Click here to learn more about all our streaming concerts.

Christophers’ choral forces are among the best in Boston, singing with resplendent color, true intonation, rich tone, and an athleticism that’s simply breathtaking.
