Centre Stage: CBSO Baroque Ensemble

“There is in London all that life can afford”. And in the Georgian era, Handel wasn’t the only great European composer who beat a path to the biggest, wealthiest and most musical city in Europe. 300 years after Handel’s Water Music, the CBSO Baroque Ensemble use period instruments to explore the music of Handel, his friends and his rivals – and uncover surprising passions in those elegant drawing rooms.
