The French Connection

Named after the street of Handel’s residence in London, The Brook Street Band brings 18th century chamber music centre-stage in their programmes. This concert explores the influence of France on composers – whether those native to the country or those visiting as an inspirational stopping point on European tours - including Handel, Telemann and Leclair.

Telemann - Paris Quartet No.1 in D, TWV 43:D3
Handel - Trio Sonata Op.5 No. 4 in E minor
Leclair - Movements from Deuxième Récréation de Musique, Op.8 in G minor
