German Geniuses

The London Handel Players are a world-class ensemble with leading period instrument specialists in Baroque music. Founded in 2000, the Players have thrilled audiences across the world with their performances and recordings. The New York Times praised their “soulful depth" and “consummate skill and musicianship", and the ensemble appears regularly at major venues internationally.

The programme includes Handel’s harpsichord suite in F major, one of his best-known and most frequently performed keyboard works. Also, three pieces by Bach, one of which will be the Trio Sonata from the Musical Offering, which is regarded as one of the greatest trio sonatas ever written. And, finally, we’ll hear two arias from Handel’s Baroque opera Giulio Cesare.
