BACH CHRISTMAS
TBD
Overview
What a perfect holiday gift: Bach’s Christmas Oratorio! H+H gives you this beautiful present, vividly realized by our period instrument orchestra, led by Maestra Laurence Equilbey, star conductor of Paris’s Insula orchestra and Accentus choir. Trumpets, timpani, and shining strings illuminate the wondrous Nativity story, as glorious solos and exultant chorales—even a tender cradle song—invite you to rejoice on an occasion guaranteed to light up a dark, wintery day.

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.
