About
the concert:
When Handel was only 22 years old, he visited Italy, where he spent couple of years exploring the music of Italians, which later became his trademark. Over 40 of his Italian operas all have roots in the music that he composed during this period. This concert will featured amazing mezzo-soprano Tijana Grujic, in selections from some of Handel's most popular operas. In addition, we will hear fantastic sonatas for violin and continuo by Biber, Corelli and Tartini, including Tartini's "The Devil's Trill", Corelli's "La Folia", featuring New Trinity Baroque's fiery violinist Carrie Krause, together with cellist André Laurent O'Neil and harpsichordist and NTB's director Predrag Gosta.
