About This Program
Approximate length 1:40
Artistic Partner Richard Egarr “pulls out all the stops” (literally!) in these neighborhood concerts featuring several delightful Baroque organ concertos by George Frideric Handel, which were originally premiered during intermissions of his operas and oratorios in London and highlighted the composer’s virtuosity at the keyboard. Egarr also leads the orchestra in several concerti grossi by Arcangelo Corelli, whose energetic showpieces inspired composers like Handel to write their own collections.
