Handel’s Sonatas for Violin and Keyboard are known and loved by audiences and performers alike. But what else was going on in England at the time? And what about composers closer to home?

Dialogus1685, the recently-formed period-instrument ensemble featuring baroque violinist, Rachel Stroud, and harpsichordist & Director of Music, Andrew Arthur, bring an intriguing programme of English Sonatas from the time of Handel (including works from the Hague Collection in Trinity Hall’s Old Library) to the intimate setting of the College Chapel. Expect musical surprises, and fascinating stories of forgotten personalities!

The concert will be followed by a drinks reception, with alcoholic and non-alcoholic options.
