About this Event
Join Manchester Baroque as we perform another original 18th century concert programme, one that took place in our city on 23rd July 1745. Whilst in Manchester’s Central Library our Artistic Director, Prof. Dr Pauline Nobes came across a transcript of concert programmes and a centenary review of Manchester’s first subscription concert series. Her groundbreaking musical and historical research includes the reconstruction of these 16 concert programmes, originally performed between November 2nd 1744 and August 20th 1745.
The music always includes popular Baroque composers Corelli and Handel, with any gaps in the original titles being filled, often by early 18th Century English gems from Manchester's rich archives. We have been working our way through recreating these concerts ever since Manchester Baroque formed, so join us on our next instalment!
