Equal but opposite. Arrangements for 2 harpsichords of music by Vivaldi, Rodrigo & Pasquini. Featuring ‘Reflections’, the dual harpsichord partnership of Monika Kornel and Diana Weston.

Love and Desire in the time of Handel

Love and Desire in the time of Handel

Sunday 24 Oct 2.30pm at St Luke’s Church Ourimbah Rd Mosman AND Friday 29 Oct 6pm at St Andrew's Church Raglan St Manly

The language of Handel’s chamber cantatas is highly ambiguous. Peopled by mythological figures, nymphs & shepherds, the characters in the cantatas from his early Italian period voice the passions of his ‘feminine’ side & form the imagery of homoerotic lust. All brought to life by soprano Hester Hannah.
