Apollo’s Cabinet: London Handel Festival

Apollo’s Cabinet present ‘Re:invention’, relaxed performance

Recent prizewinners at the prestigious York International Young Artists Competition, Apollo’s Cabinet returns to the London Handel Festival with a special relaxed performance of their much-loved re:invention programme. re:invention is an exciting and inventive project, showcasing remarkable music from the Baroque era - deconstructing it, reinterpreting it, and reassembling it with other works to create something new.

Composers like Handel, Bach, Telemann, and Quantz were often inspired by each other’s works and adopted melodies, bass lines, harmony, and texts for their own works in a similar or sometimes almost identical way. This continues to happen even today, as composers and artists take inspiration from the Baroque and rework it to be their own. re:invention highlights these links by not only showing similarities between music in the Baroque period but also by pairing modern songs with their Baroque roots.
