Handel and Haydn Society Artistic Director Jonathan Cohen leads the 211-year-old ensemble in Bach + Telemann, an all-Baroque program at Sanders Theatre in Cambridge on May 16, 2026. Soprano Robin Johannsen, countertenor Christopher Lowrey, tenor Guy Cutting, and bass-baritone Dingle Yardell join the H+H Orchestra to perform three funeral cantatas by Bach and Telemann alongside Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 6, all played on period instruments. The program features distinctive Baroque instruments including the viola da gamba and theorbo, whose tones blend with voice and other instruments throughout the cantatas and concerto.
