Handel's Treasures - Music in Dialogue
The discussion concert series HÄNDELS SCHÄTZE - MUSIK IM DIALOG, which has already been taking place successfully for 17 years, is a joint production of the Händelfestspielorchester Halle and the Händel-Haus Foundation.
A special programme selection featuring Handel's music and that of his contemporaries is framed by short informative discussion rounds. The pivotal point for the dialogues between musicians, restorers and musicologists will be exhibits from the collections of the Handel House Foundation that match the programme, be it historical musical instruments or objects from the graphics and picture collection.
In the 2023/24 season, the bass viola da gamba, which is based on a reworked cello by Tomáš Ondrej Hulínský, will be presented, as well as the copperplate engraving "Dom zu Halle" by J. G. Krügner (1749), an anonymous oil painting with a portrait of Beethoven (late 19th century) and a copperplate engraving with a portrait of J.-B. Lully by J. L. Roullet (around 1690).
