Baroque Music Meets Spiritual Space

Georg Friedrich Handel is one of the most significant composers of the Baroque period. The piece traces his eventful life as a musician and music entrepreneur, intertwining narrative scenes with arias and virtuosic violin sonatas. Thus, an evening is created that unites concert and theater in a lively form. ([ammersee-region.de](https://www.ammersee-region.de/detail/id%3D6a578422e69fa55d03998c0d))
