Event information
Members of the Cape Town Baroque Orchestra (CTBO) are joined by sopranos Lynelle Kenned and Hlengiwe Mkhwanazi in their award-winning concert of chamber works for instruments and voices by G.F. Handel (1685–1759). Part of the programme consists of vocal chamber duets, a genre that the young Handel was exposed to as a student in Rome.
Many years later several of these duets served as inspiration for choruses in his well-known oratorio Messiah. Baroque oboist Ingo Müller played a sonata for oboe and also joined Lynelle Kenned in an Italian cantata. The CTBO’s Artistic Director, Erik Dippenaar, performs Handel’s well-loved Harmonious Blacksmith variations.
Performers include Lynelle Kenned and Hlengiwe Mkhwanazi (sopranos), Ingo Müller (baroque oboe), Cheryl de Havilland (baroque cello) and Erik Dippenaar (harpsichord).
Included in the ticket price is a delicious afternoon tea after the concert
