German Geniuses

A real treat in store for lovers of baroque music! A whole evening devoted to Bach and Handel played by an ensemble who are among the leading specialists in 17th- and 18th-century music. The London Handel Players have thrilled audiences across the world with their performances and recordings for over twenty years. Reviews speak of their ‘virtuosity’ and ‘technical brilliance’, and of ‘outstandingly gifted players at the peak of their collective form’. Don’t miss this!

The title of this evening’s programme leaves no room for doubt – this is music by two very great composers. The focus is on their chamber music, but also includes arrangements for small ensemble of two arias from Handel’s Julius Caesar in Egypt (Giulio Cesare in Egitto).
