London Handel Festival
Garden Folk

The Charterhouse
London
Join us at the London Handel Festival for a lunchtime concert which explores the influence of folk music on society music, song and dance from eighteenth-century London’s pleasure gardens.
The programme will include music by G.F. Handel, Thomas Arne and William Boyce, the folk who were resident composers at Vauxhall Gardens, and who sometimes drew on folk music as inspiration, along with The Myrtle by James Oswald, and more traditional folk music, including Chapel Keithack by renowned Scottish fiddler William Marshall, Farewell to Music by Irish harper Turlough O’Carolan, and Irish folk melody Der Arme Irische Junge (The Poor Irish Boy), noted down by Handel on his Messiah manuscript.
Laura Piras – Flute
Anna Brigham – Violin
Carina Drury – Cello
