Handel was a man who understood the theater and its audience--always after his next hit, seeking to please his public. In this concert of contrasts and connections, we showcase his music for the stage, always recognizable by its emotional clarity, and at the heart of the evening place a duo of compositions exploring the creation story by two of today's most powerful musical voices: Errollyn Wallen CBE and PBO's Composer-in-Residence Tarik O'Regan.
