Nathaniel at Copped Hall on Saturday
Harpsichord (and Nathaniel Mander) enthusiasts might fancy a trip to Epping Forest next Saturday afternoon where Nathaniel will be playing at Copped Hall, a fine Georgian mansion which has been saved from the developers and restored by a group of local volunteers and conservation societies.
However, do not delay as there were only 10 tickets left when I looked this morning. Book here.
London Handel Festival Autumn Programme
The LHF’s autumn programme kicks off on Tuesday 23rd September with three performances at the Handel Hendrix House. In the intimate setting of Handel’s own parlour singers from the Cambrige Handel Opera and their director, Julian Perkins, ‘will weave arias from Handle’s penultimate opera, Imeneo, in with anecdotes and insights into Handel’s creative process’.

And, of course…… on Thursday 4th December – the Messiah. The LHF’s annual outing of Handel’s much loved Messiah. Always a sell out so, if you are keen, book early!
