Meetings & General Notices

Dr Tim Brain, the former chief constable of Gloucestershire, will talk about the life and works of George Frederick Handel, the pre-eminent composer of eighteenth-century England, whose music is popular to this day.

Handel was a musical phenomenon, working first in Germany and Italy, before taking London by storm. ‘Messiah’ would prove his greatest triumph, but he was a composer not only of great choral works but also of operas, concertos and many well loved orchestral works including the ‘Water Music’ and the ‘Music for the Royal Fireworks’.

A whistle-stop tour of a great man and a great musician.
