A concert of wonderful music by Bach and Handel featuring 5 professional soloists and a Baroque orchestra of strings, woodwind, trumpets, harpsichord and timpani.

Handel Ode for St Cecilia's Day
First performed on 22 November 1739, this stirring piece celebrates Saint Cecilia as the patron saint of music and musicians. The cantata’s text is a setting of a 1687 poem by John Dryden based on the Pythagorean theory of harmonia mundi, linking the movement and origin of the celestial bodies to music. The opening chorus, From harmony, from heavenly harmony, praises the power of music.
