“Handel’s oratorios thrive abundantly — for my part, they give me an idea of heaven, where everybody is to sing whether they have voices or not” Horace Walpole

In this workshop, the members of the Saltarello Ensemble will bring the sounds of George Frideric Handel’s world to life!

Saltarello will lead you on a musical journey, introducing the work of Handel through the context of baroque music through explanation and live performance. Playing a variety of recorders and continuo they will introduce participants to the music of Handel as well as intriguing works by his contemporaries. The workshop will also explore Handel’s role as court musician to George I and George II and will imagine some of the performances that took place in the candlelit rooms of Kensington Palace.

This event includes light refreshments and entry to Kensington Palace.
