Handel and Haydn Presents: Beethoven Symphony No. 7

🎶 Brace yourself for an exhilarating journey through rhythm, passion, and grandeur — the Handel & Haydn Society presents Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3 and Symphony No. 7 under the baton of Raphaël Pichon, on October 24 at 7:30 PM and October 25 at 2:00 PM at Symphony Hall.

They begin with Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor, Op. 37 — a work brimming with drama and intimacy, where the piano’s voice alternates between heroic declarations and ardent lyricism. With Tanguy de Williencourt on fortepiano, the concerto’s sweeping gestures and delicate interludes will come alive in a historically informed light.

Then, buckle in for the powerhouse Symphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92, a masterwork often celebrated for its rhythmic vivacity and buoyant energy. From the “Allegretto” with its unforgettable pulse to the final movement’s relentless drive, this symphony feels like an unstoppable wave of celebration. Pichon and the H+H Orchestra promise “rhythmic fire and unrelenting momentum” — every phrase rendered with clarity, urgency, and emotional breadth.

✨ Best of all: discounted tickets are available through Groupmuse’s Nights Out program, making it easier for passionate listeners like you to be at the heart of this sonic experience.
