their Director Paul McCreesh will perform
Handel’s Acis & Galatea with Mhairi Lawson
(soprano) as Galatea, James Oxley (tenor)
as Acis plus other soloists and orchestra.
Acis & Galatea is a delightful pastoral sung
in English of the tale of two lovers torn apart
by a jealous giant. Handel’s elegant music
makes it one of his most popular works. It
will be preceded by Handel’s Oboe Concerto No. 3 and by pieces for
recorders involving players from Purbeck and beyond who will have
had a workshop with the Gabrieli that morning.
