H+H

  • Jonathan Cohen conducts the orchestra on stage at Symphony Hall from the harpsichord. He leans over the harpsichord with his arm outstretched towards the musicians, locking eyes with the chorus that's out of frame and smiling knowlingly.
    The Story of the Exodus, through Handel's Music, from H+H
    On WCRB In Concert with the Handel and Haydn Society, buzzing flies, raging fire, and parting seas come to life in Handel's "Israel in Egypt," performed by the H+H chorus and period-instrument orchestra, all led by Artistic Director Jonathan Cohen.
  • The perspective of this photo is from the risers on stage. You see what the H+H Chorus members see: other singers surround you with black binders full of sheet music, Harry Christophers conducts you from an otherwise empty stage, and a sea of audience members stretch back into the darkness of Symphony Hall. This concert appears to be completely sold out.
    Hildegard, Aleotti, Haydn, and Mozart, with H+H
    On WCRB In Concert with the Handel and Haydn Society, mystically beautiful works by Hildegard von Bingen and Raffaela Aleotti are framed by Haydn's Symphony No. 49 and Mozart's "Coronation" Mass.
  • Jonathan Cohen stands at the podium with his hand raised high above him. He gazes upwards and smiles.
    Hallelujah! Handel and Haydn Society's "Messiah"
    On WCRB In Concert with the Handel and Haydn Society, Artistic Director Jonathan Cohen leads the H+H Orchestra, Chorus, and a slate of spectacular soloists in a centuries-old Boston tradition.
