FOREIGN INVASION: REMASTERING LONDON'S STYLE

with Marc Destrubé, violin and guest leader

On this Valentine weekend, join the PBO and guest leader Marc Destrubé as they take you back to the heart of 18th Century London. With the arrival of Handel in London in 1712, English concert life was largely taken over by foreign musicians, many of whom were inspired by the active London scene to write some of their best music. Along with two of Handel's masterful Concerti Grossi, the program will include music by Purcell, Corbett, Hellendaal and one of the wonderful arrangements of Scarlatti’s keyboard sonatas by Charles Avison.
