Handel’s Salon brings music back into the rooms where Handel once lived, worked and entertained. Inspired by the concerts, gatherings and creative exchanges that filled his home, this series celebrates his music, his house and his enduring legacy.
Literary Music present a programme of music by Handel from the Jane Austen music collection, which would have been played in the Austen household, including extracts from Water Music, Judas Maccabeus as well as recitatives and arias from Handel’s most famous operas. This programme is performed in full Regency costume, with period music interspersed with readings from novels and entertaining descriptions of life in the Regency era.
Literary Music was formed in 2011 by soprano Rosie Lomas and harpsichordist Katarzyna Kowalik whilst studying at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London.
