What is the true meaning of home? This bold collection of works by composers of the British Baroque—be they British by birth, choice, or force—will enrapture and enliven while answering that perennial question. H+H collaborator Reginald Mobley and renowned Baroque violinist Rachel Podger co-curated this assortment of British delights, including something for everyone: Alongside familiar favorites from Purcell and Handel, discover a long under-recognized voice in Ignatius Sancho, a composer who was enslaved at birth yet became the first Black man to vote in a British election.Two performancesFri, February 2, 2024 | 7:30pmSun, February 4, 2024 | 3:00pmPlease reach out to the Handel + Haydn Society Box Office for any questions regarding programming or ticketing details at 617-262-1815 ext. 1or by emailing boxoffice@handelandhaydn.org.
