Carolina Pro Musica continues Season 46 with a concert celebrating Handel (300 Years ago) with a program entitled Handel’s Banner Year: 1724. The concert will be held February 23, 2024, at 7:30 PM at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church, 1001 Queens Rd, Charlotte NC 28207. This was a great year for Handel in London. He had just moved into a new house on Brook Street in Mayfair where he would live the rest of his life. He had several operas set to premiere include Giulio Cesare (Julius Cesare) which would run for most of the year. He was helping to run the theater where his productions took place.
Our program features several arias from Giulio Cesare as well as instrumental works for flute, recorder, viola da gamba, and harpsichord all from this same time. Tickets are available online or at the door.
