La Nuova Musica's first visit to St John's Smith Square will be on St Cecilia's day, to celebrate the Patron Saint of Music. They will be performing an overture by Handel and two odes devoted to her; by Purcell, Welcome to all the Pleasures and by John Blow, Begin the Song. There is no recorded performance of the Blow, neither is there a decent edition. We have therefore asked the Blow scholar Caroline Ritchie to prepare an edition, and hope to record it next year!
The other half of the programme is devoted to the young Handel during his time in Rome. The wonderful Lucy Crowe joins us to perform the Gloria and Laudate Pueri II.

Tarsus Quiz Charity Evening

Tables start at £500 for a team of 10 people – this includes 3 drinks per person (then cash bar), a light dinner and the quiz entertainment.
