HANDEL'S LONDON: A MUSICAL SNAPSHOT

London in the time of Handel was a cosmopolitan centre for all the arts.  Handel rode the wave of popularity of Italian opera bringing many of the biggest stars of the day, including the superstar castrati, to star in his operas.  Many years later, when popular taste for Italian opera waned, he moved his attentions to oratorios in English.  His broad and prolific musical output encompasses sacred, secular, theatrical, choral and chamber music.  This recital includes works by representatives of Handel's influences, contemporaries and rivals including Corelli, Pepusch, Lonati and Porpora.

Baroque Encounter will lead an afternoon workshop for children and parents (voices - any ability, instruments - grade 2 upwards) exploring the soundscape of London in Handel's time, before the evening concert by the Baroque Encounter Trio.
