Event Details

You are cordially invited to an exceptional concert on a Wednesday 27th October at Grosvenor Chapel in Mayfair, Calvin Wells-counter tenor or male soprano- and Charlotte Stephenson –mezzo-soprano with the Ensemble Serse  will be Aminta & Fillide by G.F. Handel.

To Rome, 14 July 1708, where the princely shepherds of the Pontificia Accademia degli Arcadi celebrate Christmas at the height of summer, devoutly observing a flighty soul pursued by a resolute God. Or are they actually enjoying the pleasures of a nymph seduced by a herdsman?

Handel's extraordinary setting of Aminte e Fillide depicts the struggle between sensuality and spirituality through music of such beauty and clarity that the composer himself would return to it again and again.
