Solo Recitals at the Strand: Geneva Lewis, violin

Strand Theatre, Rockland

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!
