Outdoor concerts are always prey to the vicissitudes of weather. The Festival of Early Music in Lativa is so well organized, unexpected light rain started just at the beginning of the interval and politely ceased before the second half of the programme.
Thursday Live at Handel House (the museum is celebrating its tenth anniversary this autumn) is a popular series for early music afficionados. The hour-long concert is held in the intimate space of the Rehearsal Room, where Handel himself rehearsed his many operas and oratorios, giving it a special atmosphere.
