Bejun Mehta

Antwerp Symphony Orchestra

The Baroque master Georg Friedrich Händel composed several phenomenal arias for the highest male singing voice. Just the perfect repertoire for countertenor Bejun Mehta, who will also be conducting the orchestra on this occasion. Like Händel, Johann Christian Bach made a career for himself in 18th- century cosmopolitan London, with compositions that bridge the gap between the Baroque and classicism. It was there that he also met Mozart, whose overture to Mitridate is very similar to the work of the London Bach. Twelve years later, the young Mozart demonstrated his maturity in his Haffner Symphony, gradually carving out a niche for himself as an independent composer.
