Discovering Handel
Feb. 9-May 18, 2008

George Frideric Handel is probably the greatest composer you never knew! Even for many music connoisseurs, Handel means only one or two pieces – the Hallelujah Chorus from Messiah or the Hornpipe from the Water Music. Discovering Handel gives you a chance to explore more facets of one of the defining geniuses of Western music. The series includes a symposium at the Phoenix Public Library, an art exhibit, a daylong encounter with Handel’s music, concerts of instrumental music, and performances of two of Handel’s greatest masterworks, his opera Giulio Cesare and a rare uncut performance of Messiah.
