Handel's Israel in Egypt

Handel and Haydn Society, Boston

Jonathan Cohen launches his first season as artistic director with Handel’s epic tale of triumph over adversity. Performing on the period instruments for which this powerful music was written, our unrivaled orchestra and chorus bring the story to life, evoking buzzing flies, raging fire, and parting seas from the stage of Symphony Hall—and reminding us all to hold fast to hope.
