In this programme, self-devised by the current Arcangelo New Ensemblists, the group will explore works composed for the brilliant orchestral musicians who played in Handel’s orchestra at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket. The music by Handel, Castrucci, Corbett, Sammartini, and Haym will show the dazzling virtuosity of both those players and the ones in this ensemble.
