SUMMARY:Handel: Belshazzar
DESCRIPTION:The oratorio emerged as a space where music\, drama and public life converged. At the forefront of this musical movement was Handel\, who created works that spoke not only to their biblical narrative but also to wider cultural and political currents. \nGeorge Frideric Handel Belshazzar HWV 61\n \nJohn Butt director & harpsichord\nEd Lyon Belshazzar\nNardus Williams Nitocris\nBeth Taylor Cyrus\nAlexander Chance Daniel\nMatthew Brook Gobryas  \nThe oratorio emerged as a space where music\, drama and public life converged. At the forefront of this musical movement was Handel\, who created works that spoke not only to their biblical narrative but also to wider cultural and political currents.  \nBased on Charles Jennens’ libretto\, Belshazzar centres around the dramatic story of the fallen Babylon – the impious King Belshazzar is confronted by divine judgement as a mysterious hand foretells his downfall. Set against him are voices of warning\, reflection and faith\, as the narrative unfolds towards a moment of reckoning and renewal.  \nTickets: £10 – £45

SUMMARY:Handel: Dixit Dominus
DESCRIPTION:A young Handel travelled to Italy\, immersing himself in a musical world shaped by composers such as Caldara and Lotti. \nAntonio Caldara Introduzione from L’olimpiade\nAntonio Lotti Missa Sancti Christophori\nGeorge Frideric Handel Dixit Dominus HWV 232 \nJohn Butt director & harpsichord\nHilary Cronin soprano\nHelen Charlston mezzo-soprano\nPaul Whittaker BSL interpreter\nDunedin Consort side by side with students from Royal Conservatoire of Scotland  \nA young Handel travelled to Italy\, immersing himself in a musical world shaped by composers such as Caldara and Lotti. There he absorbed a rich and expressive style marked by clarity\, balance and vitality – qualities that would continue shape his own musical language.  \nLotti’s Missa Sancti Christophori\, later compiled by his student Jan Dismas Zelenka\, represents Italian sacred polyphony at its finest\, combining expressive depth with structural refinement\, especially in the breathtaking Crucifixus. Meanwhile\, Handel’s Dixit Dominus transforms these Italian roots into a work of choral brilliance and rhythmic energy\, where voices and instruments combine with striking power.  \nPre-concert talk with John Butt at 6.30pm \nBSL interpreted performance \nTickets: £6 – £42  \nIncluded in Glasgow subscription\, save 10% when purchasing Dixit Dominus and Handel’s Leading Ladies at the same time.
