    Programme

    Overview

    Regularly performing internationally and to continual acclaim, tonight’s ensemble is highly experienced in the music of Handel, including the oratorios and the operas. Prior to 1960 tonight’s comic cantata – written in Rome in 1707 – was known only as a fragment; but the discovery of a complete score in Münster has led to many modern performances.
