Brook Street Band
Handel – Friends, Foes and Flattery
Supported by a grant from Continuo Foundation
Who doesn’t like a bit of friendly rivalry? Handel’s England was full of colourful characters such as composers Thomas Arne, William Boyce, and Charles Burney, all jostling for prominent positions in the musical establishment, using whatever means they could to propel themselves into the limelight. We showcase their music alongside Handel’s, giving a glimpse into this highly competitive world, including music composed in East Anglia.
Rachel Harris & Kathryn Parry (violins)
Tatty Theo (cello)
Carolyn Gibley (harpsichord)
