Handel and Haydn Society to Kick Off 2022-23 with ‘Glories of Bach’
By David SalazarThe Handel and Haydn Society is set to open its 2022-23 season with “Glories of Bach” on Oct. 7 and 9, 2022 at Symphony Hall in Boston.
The program, led by founder and artistic director of Arcangelo Jonathan Cohen, will feature the Handel and Haydn Orchestra taking on three works by Bach including Cantata 140, Cantata 61, and his Orchestral Suite No. 3. Audiences will also experience the company premiere of Buxtehude’s “Nimm von uns, Herr” and that same composer’s “Der Herr ist mit mir.”
“We want to give our audience a deeper understanding of JS Bach,” said David Snead, President and CEO of the Handel and Haydn Society, in an official press statement. “The performance of the Buxtehude cantatas allows our guests to get into the mind of the musical genius. Bach was so inspired by Buxtehude, that he walked 250 miles to hear his music. It will be a much shorter drive to Symphony Hall to experience these Baroque masterpieces performed with the freshness and vitality that H+H is known for.”
The 2022-23 season will also include performances of “The Marriage of Figaro,” Händel’s “Messiah,” Beethoven’s Eroica, and Bach’s “Easter Oratorio,” among others.
