Programme

Interval

Overview

The renowned period-instrument ensemble and its artistic director perform two vocal works by Handel, with an acclaimed soprano the soloist in the motet Silete venti, written in London around 1723-5, joined by a rising star baritone for the cantata Apollo e Dafne, probably begun in Venice in 1709 and completed in Hanover the following year.
