THE LONDON BAROQUE PLAYLIST — Age 6 and older
In 18th-century London, arias from the operas of George Frideric Handel were the pop hits of the day. As recordings obviously did not exist, people would often play these melodies in their homes. A particularly inventive publisher named John Walsh teamed up with Handel to create arrangements for flute and basso continuo, which became highly successful. Leading an ensemble of Baroque specialists, recorder virtuoso Stefan Temmingh revives this festive and fun-filled tradition of music-making and takes audiences of all ages on a journey to the past.
For visitors with babies under the age of 1 year old
“Parental Leave” concerts are aimed at all new mothers and fathers (as well as uncles, aunts, grandparents, carers…) who would like to experience music together with their babies in a relaxed setting. In this season a various program of works and genres will be performed by outstanding pianists, vocalists and violinists. The number of seats is limited, and all amenities to make your visit as pleasant as possible are provided in the lobby. These concerts are approximately 45 minutes long and intended exclusively for visitors with babies aged 12 months and younger.
