“Handel has never had it so good in his adopted city.”
Hugh Canning, Sunday Times
Musical Director and acclaimed Handalian Laurence Cummings directs the amassed forces of the Academy of Ancient Music and the National Youth Choir of Great Britain in our opening night celebration. London Handel Festival 2022 opens with a bang. The massed forces will perform some of Handel’s most magisterial and triumphant music. As well as some well known Handel favourite the programme also features the world premiere of Anna Clyne’s ‘In Thy Beauty’. Anna’s interpretation of a text often associated with Handel’s Coronation Anthems keeps the inspiration of Handel alive today.
