New season for Baroque 2000
Baroque 2000 will perform excerpts from Suites one and two of Handel's celebrated Water Music at its first recital.
BAROQUE 2000's new season begins on 10 April at the church of the Monastery Mariannhill at 11am, and features excerpts from Suites one and two of Handel's celebrated Water Music.
Handel's great work, for strings, oboes, trumpets, horns, bassoon and strings was first performed 299 years ago by musicians on a barge on the river Thames for King George the First who, with his entourage, was carried downstream alongside on his own boat.
Also on the programme are the same composer's Concerto Grosso op 6 no 8, and Vivaldi's Concerto 'per molti instrumenti', RV 574, a high spirited work scored for strings, oboes and horns.
Tickets are R140. Subscriptions for the eight concert season are available, offering reserved seats and queue-free entry. There is plenty of free and safe parking. Contact Michel on 082 303 5241 or sursouth@iafrica.com
