Wigmore Hall debut of acclaimed period instrument ensemble, and London première of new arrangement of Handel’s Oxford Water Music. The Brook Street Band has been invited to perform at the Wigmore Hall on Saturday 27th September 2003. This debut programme includes the London première of a new arrangement of Handel’s Oxford Water Music Suites, an earlier chamber version of the much loved orchestral work. The hand written music was first identified in Oxford in 1980 by Handel scholar Donald Burrows after lying neglected for centuries in the Manuscript Collection. This particular version has been edited for the Wigmore Hall performance by the Band’s cellist and director Tatty Theo. This is a rare opportunity to hear the Water Music in an original chamber formation as conceived by Handel. The programme also features virtuosic trio sonatas by Handel, Leclair and Corelli. The award-winning Brook Street Band is acclaimed throughout the UK and Europe for its stylistic and passionate performances on period instruments. The Band is named after the London street where Handel lived and worked and his music forms
