DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Handel and Haydn S.\nMusicians: \n\nBegin the season 
 with Handel’s magnificent *L’Allegro\, il Penseroso ed il Moderato*\, 
 a richly imaginative setting of **John Milton**’s poetry that explores t
 he contrasting temperaments within us: the joyful and extroverted\, the co
 ntemplative and introspective\, and the voice that seeks a balance between
  them. One of **Handel**’s most celebrated works before Messiah\, this e
 xpansive ode to the human spirit moves effortlessly between exuberant chor
 uses\, lyrical arias\, pastoral scenes\, and moments of profound reflectio
 n.\n\nUnder the direction of **Jonathan Cohen**\, the **Handel & Haydn Soc
 iety Orchestra and Chorus are joined by soprano Joélle Harvey\, tenor Pau
 l Appleby\, bass-baritone Michael Sumuel\, and spoken-word artist Regie Gi
 bson**. Together\, they bring Milton’s vivid philosophical world to life
  through music of remarkable color\, energy\, and emotional range. Experie
 nce this extraordinary work at **Symphony Hall** and discover how Handel t
 ransforms the tension between opposing ways of seeing the world into somet
 hing beautiful. Through **Groupmuse Nights Out**\, tickets are available a
 t a supremely discounted price. 🎶
