HANDEL’S MESSIAH
NOV 27 + 28 + 29
Overview
What do we believe in when things are uncertain?
Sound the trumpets! H+H Conductor Laureate Harry Christophers returns to lead Boston’s must-see Messiah. For the 173rd consecutive year, the H+H Orchestra, Chorus, and luminous soloists fill Symphony Hall with music that moves through uncertainty, reflection, and radiant joy.
