Handel and Haydn Society will present “Love, Handel” on Feb. 7 and 9, 2025 at the New England Conservatory’s Jordan Hall.

The showcase will be headlined by soprano Joélle Harvey, who joins the ensemble and artistic director Jonathan Cohen in a program that includes two secular cantatas as well as Händel’s opus 6 concertos. Finally, there will be performances of two songs from “Theodora” and “Acis and Galatea.”

“This Valentine’s Day we invite you to fall in love with the brilliance and beauty of Handel’s music, performed on period instruments like Handel knew and composed for, and as it was heard by its original listeners,” said David Snead, Philip and Marjorie Gerdine President and CEO of the Handel and Haydn Society, per an official press release. “We are delighted to welcome audience favorite Joélle Harvey back to the H+H stage for these performances. Her extraordinary vocal range and expressive, precise delivery is perfectly suited to bring Handel’s cantatas to life.”

Harvey has performed all around the world with such companies as the Metropolitan Opera, New York Philharmonic, The Glimmerglass Festival, Washington National Opera, San Francisco Symphony, The English Concert, Opernhaus Zürich, and Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, among others. She performed with the Handel and Haydn Society in July 2024.
