"Handel's Vibrant London"

 

Music by George Frideric Handel, Antonio Vivaldi, William Boyce, Francesco Geminiani, and Johann Christoph Pepusch

 

George Frideric Handel’s London was alive with musical innovation, shaped by his own genius and a rich circle of Baroque composers, blending Italian brilliance with English tradition. This program explores the vibrant soundscape of 18th-century London—from Boyce’s stately elegance to Geminiani’s fiery virtuosity and Pepusch’s theatrical flair—before returning to Italy with the Sebastians’ signature rendition of Vivaldi’s wild Folia.

Concert Sponsor: Rolen and Patricia Ferris
