Delight in this special one-off performance of sparkling Baroque gems as acclaimed early music specialist Erin Helyard leads the exciting young musicians of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra Fellowship Program in works by Telemann and Graupner.

The Splendour of the Baroque

Sydney Opera House

This concert, directed by the brilliant Erin Helyard, is a celebration of the spectacular.

Handel’s Water Music

City Recital Hall

Like much of his work, the Water Music was an 18th-century show stopper. Commissioned by King George I for a concert on the Thames, all of London turned out to see Handel and his orchestra floating up and down the river on a barge, playing this exciting, ceremonial music. It’s a foot-tapping party on and off stage – and the music was such a hit the King demanded an immediate encore!
