The Alchemist: Handel and his Contemporaries

We are so looking forward to welcoming the 8 piece baroque orchestra, Convivio, back to St. Michael’s, courtesy of Bath Recital’s Trust. Their last concert was beautifully exhilarating and if you’re new to the world of baroque music this is a brilliant way to experience it.

An evening of sublime baroque instrumental music performed by the eight piece Convivio ensemble with some of the top young period instrument players in the UK. Featuring the first of Handel’s works to be performed in England, turned into incidental music for Ben Jonson’s Alchemist in 1710, the concert also features Concertos and Sinfonias by his contemporaries Vivaldi, Telemann, Hasse and Fasch

Programme

Handel: The Alchemist Suite
Fasch: Sonata in F Minor
Hasse:
Oboe Concerto in F Major
Handel: Sinfonia in B flat
Vivaldi: Sinfonia in G
Telemann: Concerto for 2 oboes, bassoon and strings in D Minor

Tickets are £25 (£6 for students) but this is music you’d normally pay much more to hear! Available from Bath Box Office.
