The Alchemist
Music by Handel and his contemporaries
Join us on 27 August as we welcome back by popular demand the Convivio ensemble with The Alchemist, a dazzling evening of Baroque music by Handel and his contemporaries…
Convivio performing to a sell-out Bath Recitals’ audience at St Michael’s in August 2021
This promises to be an evening of sublime baroque instrumental music performed by the eight piece Convivio ensemble which consists of some of the UK’s top young period instrument players.
‘The best concert I have ever been to’
