SUMMARY:Handel's Leading Ladies
DESCRIPTION:In 18th-century London\, the operatic stage was as much a site of social spectacle as of musical innovation\, shaped by star performers\, fashionable audiences and the ambitions of a rapidly expanding cultural scene and at its centre stood Handel. \nGeorge Frideric Handel\nConcerto Grosso Op.6 No.6\nTorni omai la pace from Tolomeo\nNo\, più soffrir non voglio from Alessandro  \nGiovanni Bononcini\nPrelude from Il Lamento d’Olimpia  \nGeorge Frideric Handel\nFalse Imagine from Ottone  \nGiovanni Bononcini\nDifese mi giurasti from Astianatte  \nJohn Butt director\nNardus Williams soprano \nIn 18th-century London\, the operatic stage was as much a site of social spectacle as of musical innovation\, shaped by star performers\, fashionable audiences and the ambitions of a rapidly expanding cultural scene. At its centre stood Handel\, whose works were brought vividly to life by leading international singers and musicians\, two of whom were italian rivals\, Francesca Cuzzoni and Faustina Bordoni. \nFuelled by public intrigue and partisan audiences\, their famed rivalry became part of London’s cultural fabric\, as did the striking contrast between their voices: Cuzzoni’s pure\, expressive lyricism set against Bordoni’s brilliance and virtuosity. \nTickets: £6 – £30 (+ booking fee) \nIf you have access requirements\, please contact info@dunedin-consort.org.uk and we will reserve seating for you. \n\nIncluded in Edinburgh subscription season\, save up to 20% when buying 2+ concerts at the same time – book online at www.thequeenshall.net\, in person at The Queen’s Hall box office\, or call 0131 668 2019

SUMMARY:Handel: Messiah
DESCRIPTION:George Frideric Handel Messiah\, HWV 56  \nMatthew Truscott violin & director\nRowan Pierce soprano\nAnita Monserrat mezzo-soprano\nEd Lyon tenor\nMarcus Farnsworth baritone \nIt’s no surprise that Handel’s Messiah continues to draw audiences back year after year. There is nothing quite like it. Although the Hallelujah chorus has become the work’s calling card\, Handel wrote every note to impress and astound his listeners.  \nIts choruses are as grand as anything Handel ever composed\, the solo writing profoundly moving\, the drama powerful and compelling. Performed ‘the Dunedin way’ as Handel would have first heard it\, with a small orchestra\, a team of twelve singers and soloists who step out from the chorus\, there are few more uplifting ways to celebrate the festive season  \nTickets: £6 – £42  \n\nIncluded in Edinburgh subscription season\, save up to 20% when buying 2+ concerts at the same time – book online at www.thequeenshall.net\, in person at The Queen’s Hall box office\, or call 0131 668 2019

SUMMARY:Early German Christmas
DESCRIPTION:Throughout 17th and 18th century Germany\, Christmas remained a season of reflection and celebration\, shaped as much by local tradition and congregational hymn singing as by rousing festive music. \nSamuel Scheidt Intrada No.22\nJohann Rosenmüller Also hat Gott die Welt beliebt\nChristian Geist Wie schön\nJohann Christian Bach Merk auf\, mein Herz BWV-Anhang 163\nGeorg Böhm Nun Komm\, der Heiden Heiland\nDieterich Buxtehude Wachet auf\nJohann Thiele Nun ich singe Gott ich knie\nHeinrich Schütz Sehet an den Feigenbaum\nJohann Sebastian Bach Nun Komm\, der Heiden Heiland\, BWV 61  \nJohn Butt director & harpsichord\nZoë Brookshaw soprano\nJoanna Songi soprano\nSarah Anne Champion alto\nGuy Cutting tenor\nChristopher Webb bass  \nThroughout 17th and 18th century Germany\, Christmas remained a season of reflection and celebration\, shaped as much by local tradition and congregational hymn singing as by rousing festive music. From court chapels to town churches\, composers contributed to a rich tapestry of Advent and Christmas music\, each work offering a different perspective on the story at its heart\, the celebration of Christ’s birth.  \nFigures such as Scheidt\, Schütz and Buxtehude laid the foundations of this tradition\, blending sacred and devotional intensity with expressive immediacy\, while later composers including J.S. Bach and his sons built upon these influences and transformed them.  \nAt this festive programme’s core is the chorale Nun komm\, Der Heiden Heiland\, a cornerstone of Lutheran Advent worship with a distinctive melody that provided the perfect foundation for composers such as Buxtehude\, Böhm and J.S. Bach to return to in search of new textures\, harmonies and melodic ornamentation.  \nTickets: £18 – £50

SUMMARY:Open rehearsal: Handel: Belshazzar
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday 13 January\, join us in London for our open rehearsal of Handel: Belshazzar. \nMore information about Open Rehearsals can be found here. \n\n\n\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.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGeorge Frideric Handel Belshazzar HWV 61 \nJohn Butt director & harpsichord\nEd Lyon Belshazzar\nNardus Williams Nitocris\nBeth Taylor Cyrus\nAlexander Chance Daniel\nMatthew Brook Gobryas

SUMMARY:Open rehearsal: Strings of Italy
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday 24 April\, join us in Edinburgh for our open rehearsal of Strings of Italy. \n\n\n\nThroughout the 17th and early 18th centuries\, Italian composers transformed string writing into one of Europe’s most influential musical languages. Figures such as Stradella\, Legrenzi and Corelli developed styles of increasing brilliance\, clarity and expressive power\, balancing contrapuntal richness with virtuosic flair.  \nFrom the elegant sonatas and sinfonias of Cavalli\, Rosenmüller and Albinoni to Vivaldi’s electrifying concertos for multiple violins\, this programme traces the evolution of the Italian string tradition at a moment of extraordinary creativity and invention.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlessandro Stradella Sinfonia in D\nJohann Rosenmüller Sinfonia Prima in F\nGiovanni Legrenzi Sonata “La Cremona” Op.8 No.10 in C\nAntonio Vivaldi Concerto for 4 violins RV 550\nArcangelo Corelli Concerto Grosso Op.6 No.2 in F\nGiovanni Legrenzi Sonata a4 Op.11 No.13 in a\nFrancesco Cavalli Canzon a4 in C from Music Sacre\nTomaso Albinoni Sinfonia Op. 2 No.3 in C\nAntonio Vivaldi Concerto for 2 violins RV 522  \nJohn Butt director\nDunedin Consort  \nFurther information on Open Rehearsals can be found here.

SUMMARY:Open rehearsal: Handel: Dixit Dominus
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday 18 May\, join us in Glasgow for our open rehearsal of Handel: Dixit Dominus. \n\n\n\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.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\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 (Glasgow)\nDunedin Consort side by side with students from Royal Conservatoire of Scotland  \nFurther information on our Open Rehearsals can be found here.
