Handel and Haydn Society

This concert is SOLD OUT; however, we recommend violinist Anne Akiko Meyers OR Isidore String Quartet as alternatives.

This concert is made possible through the generous support of Irene and Steve Johnson & John J. Winkleman Jr.


Acclaimed for its playing of chamber music through the centuries, Handel and Haydn Society embraces historically informed performances, bringing classical music to life with the same immediacy it had the day it was composed. Don’t miss this joyful series of concerti and works for chamber orchestra from the Baroque period featuring acclaimed soprano Joélle Harvey and featured soloists from the Handel and Haydn Society violinist Aisslinn Nosky, oboist Debra Nagy, and organist Ian Watson.
