This spectacular all-Handel program commemorates the 250th anniversary of the composer’s death with a large-scale performance of five of his most beloved works, including the Water Music: Suite no. 2, the recently discovered Gloria, two of his festive
Coronation Anthems and the majestic Ode for St. Cecilia’s Day.
