Event Description

The London Handel Players is a world-class ensemble bringing together leading period-instrument specialists in the field of baroque chamber music. For over two decades, since making their debut at Handel’s parish church, St. George’s in Hanover Square, as part of the London Handel Festival in 2000, they have delighted audiences around the world with their concerts and recordings. They perform regularly at Wigmore Hall and at many of the foremost festivals in the UK, Europe and North America, bringing audiences baroque chamber music and concertos and collaborating with some of the world’s leading singers.

The Players will be at Hellens for two consecutive days: Saturday 26 & Sunday 27 July 2025.
