Step into a garden of Baroque brilliance this April with Groupmuse Nights Out, where discounted tickets bring you face-to-face with the vibrant sound world of the Handel and Haydn Society Orchestra. Described by The Boston Globe as making “music that crackles with life and color,” the ensemble bursts into bloom with a jubilant program of French elegance and German genius. Revel in the theatrical sparkle of Lully’s Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme, the regal sweep of Handel’s Water Music, and the irrepressible energy of Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 1—alongside dazzling selections from Rameau and three intricate fugues from Bach’s Art of the Fugue.

Under the direction of Jonathan Cohen, these masterpieces come alive with the vivid authenticity and electric immediacy that only period instruments can deliver. Join fellow music lovers on Friday, April 10 at 7:30 PM or Sunday, April 12 at 3:00 PM for an afternoon or evening overflowing with rhythm, color, and Baroque grandeur—plus a special appearance by the 2026 HHYC Chorale Festival singers. With Groupmuse Nights Out discounted tickets, this is the perfect chance to experience Boston’s legendary early-music ensemble up close, where every note sparkles and every dance pulse leaps to life. ✨
