2008 Concert Series

2008 Concert Series

“Handel is the greatest composer who ever lived.” Ludwig van Beethoven

“Handel is only fourth rate. He is not even interesting.”  Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky

Whichever of these sentiments you agree with, George Frideric Handel’s influence on the history of Western music is undeniable. Salut!’s 2008 Concert Series will focus on Handel, his contemporaries and the historical context in which he lived. From the composers and ‘big name’ personalities Handel met during his travels throughout Europe, to Handel’s ‘light-fingeredness’ of other composers’ works, join us for a journey through the life of one of the most important composers of the baroque period.
