About this concert

Though he became an English citizen in 1727, Handel never quite shook off his German origins, and this programme explores these connections through exhilarating and sensual music.

It was Telemann who sparked Handel’s passion for opera, and both Bach and Handel refused to marry Buxtehude’s daughter!
