MELODIES IN MIND
Amarillis (4 musicians)
A concert like a journey in the life of Georg Friedrich Handel. Sonatas in trio, are compared with two imaginary suites in the spirit of the dance suite. Give to hear a melody without words in its most intimate expression, this is Handel's challenge to us, this man with a universal mind, passionate about painting and who knew how to translate into music the whole range of human feelings. These melodies, so suggestive, enter into us, enchant us and leave us no respite. He will be associated with composers such as Georg Philipp Telemann or Marin Marais.
