Tapasconcert: Orkest van de Achttiende Eeuw & Lucie Horsch
o.a. Händel
After the resounding success of last season and a beautifully received album, Lucie Horsch is back with the Orchestra of the 18th Century.
They present a splendid new baroque program featuring concertos, chamber music, and orchestral works by Georg Friedrich Händel, Arcangelo Corelli, Domenico Scarlatti, and the Swedish composer Johann Helmich Roman in the leading roles.
Like many of their contemporaries, these composers were supported and maintained by wealthy women. Sometimes these patrons were connected to the court, sometimes they were affluent elites from England, Germany, Sweden, or – indeed – the Netherlands. But what drove these women? Why did they seek a connection with music, art, and culture in this way? In this concert, the focus is not only on the music and the men who composed it, but also on the women who made it all possible and secured their place in history in this manner.
