Reawaken your senses, reinvigorate your spirit, and celebrate spring with your H+H community! Harmonies burst through the Symphony Hall air like daffodils through the snow as Jonathan Cohen leads the superlative H+H Orchestra and Chorus in that sweetest of Haydn’s The Seasons. Then, our “gem of a chorus…makes a truly glorious noise” (The Boston Musical Intelligencer) as serenity gives way to rapture in Beethoven’s mesmerizing Mass in C Major.

Come hear this rarely performed work featuring renown soloist Bradford Gleim, baritone.

For the 171st consecutive year, H+H brings Boston together with the magic of Messiah, the greatest story ever told in song.
