The Portrait Players

listen

Performing at the @londonhandelfestival members launch last week reminded us how much we ♥️ Handel. His music brought us together for our first ever concert, back in January 2023, exploring his 9 German arias, Spanish and French Cantatas. We can’t stop smiling when we play his music 🤩 We had a great evening playing at the @foundlingmuseum for the @londonhandelfestival 2027 Members Launch. It was lovely to revisit some of our favourite Handel hits ♥️ We are so excited for our lunchtime concert at this year’s festival at @charterhouselondon where we’ll be debuting a new programme - ‘Mirroring Sappho’ which explores the role of women writers in salons and accademias in Paris, Venice and Handel’s Rome. Today we met for an instrumental rehearsal for our Christmas programme ‘A la venue de Noël’ ✨! We’re all humming 17th century carols now… 🎄More on this very soon, but if you want to book a ticket for our performance at the York Early Music Christmas Festival the link is in our bio! #christmasmusic #baroquemusic #historicalperformance #tripleharp #frenchbaroque ✨ 🍂 The 26-27 Season begins! 🌅 ✨ Concert annoucement! 🎶 This Sunday we’ll be performing for Hertford Music Club at the Quaker Meeting House, Hertford.
