Musica Gloria

It is one of those gilt-edged pages in the history of baroque music: the meeting of the young Handel and the legendary Corelli in Rome, 1707. Handel wrote sublime solo parts for Corelli, Corelli shone in Handel's oratorios. The young Flemish baroque ensemble Musica Gloria, lead by organist/harpsichordist Beniamino Paganini and oboist Nele Vertommen, explores how the competitors not only maintained a healthy rivalry, but also a deep friendship.

Tip from Robin, EMTV and ticket sales

Musica Gloria - The cuckoo and the nightingale (Saturday 30 August 11:00 hrs, TivoliVredenburg / Hertz)

A special meeting in 1707 is at the centre of this promising concert: the young Handel meets the legendary Corelli. The bond between these two baroque greats was extraordinary. Handel wrote sublime solo parts for Corelli, and Corelli shone in Handel's oratorios. Their mutual admiration and genius continue to inspire to this day. This concert is a great opportunity to relive those sounds. In any case, I am looking forward to hearing how the young baroque ensemble Musica Gloria brings to life the friendship of these widely known colleagues!
