Best known as the composer of Messiah, Handel (1685-1759) was one of musical history’s most gifted impresarios. His gifts were extraordinary – his life an adventure – his legacy priceless. We travel with him from his initial musical successes in Rome to his superstar status in London. A master of the Italian Baroque style, he is considered a King of the Organ and Prince of the Concerto Grosso. Included will be excerpts from the composer's musical works.
