In celebration of Handel’s actual birthday on March 5th, (although he would have known it to be in February due to the old style Julian calendar), we have been busy making preparations for our emerging artists scheme, The Handelians. 🎶 https://t.co/u3KI99Mdmv @SignumRecords

Handel was forbidden from marrying the amateur harpsichordist and devout follower, Elizabeth Legh as she was from a noble family. We recently performed newly discovered Handel arias for Elizabeth, reflecting their close relationship. @HandelHendrix @MusicCunningham 🎶
