Step into a world of festive elegance and sparkling sound with this joyful celebration of Baroque music at Christmas featuring the music of Purcell, Handel, Rameau and more.
This concert brings the Baroque world vividly to life – full of dance, drama and dazzling detail. You’ll hear graceful violin lines from Leclair and Corelli, rich festive textures in Torelli and Locatelli’s Christmas Concertos, and the playful precision of Telemann and Handel. Purcell’s music from The Fairy Queen runs through it like a thread – sometimes stately, sometimes rustic, always full of character. And Rameau keeps us on our toes, sweeping from elegant courtly dances to full-blown storms. It’s music that moves – physically, emotionally, and always with a bit of flair.
I mean I love a decent brass band or full orchestra playing ABBA or movie themes, but fuck me.
