Period Instrument Demonstrations
At Symphony Hall
Before each concert in Symphony Hall, we invite you to join us in the lobby for a special demonstration by a member of the H+H Orchestra. During these demonstrations, this Orchestra member will discuss what make their historical instrument different from its modern version and you'll have the chance to hear their instrument apart from the rest of the ensemble.
Thomas Barth
Beethoven, Mozart + The Bear| May 2 + 4 at Symphony Hall
Praised for his “superb phrasing” and “human-like singing” (Boston Musical Intelligencer), cellist Thomas Barth enjoys a varied career as a chamber and orchestral musician. He performs frequently with groups including the Handel and Haydn Society, Boston Baroque, Holy Trinity Bach Vespers, Boston Festival Orchestra, and A Far Cry. As a member of the Juventas New Music Ensemble, he is committed to bringing the works of emerging composers to audiences around the world in an accessible fashion. In 2022, he served as the cellist for the critically acclaimed Broadway revival of 1776. Thomas holds a Master's degree from the New England Conservatory and completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Michigan with additional studies at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague.
