A Forgotten Master - Handel House

Simon Balicourt arrived in London in 1735 and was ‘esteemed one of the best Masters of the German Flute’ in London until his death in 1757. Balicourt would almost certainly have met Handel whilst he lived in London. Rosie Bowker (flute) presents a programme of works by both composers.

The concert takes place in the very room where Baroque composer Handel rehearsed and performed pieces such as Messiah over 250 years ago and includes the use of our period harpsichord from the mid-18th century.
