Happy Birthday, Händel!

Location details
With the enchanting pastoral cantata Aminta e Fillide, which Handel premiered in Rome in 1708, the Croatian ensemble Gli Schiavoni pays tribute to the composer on his 342nd birthday. In the first part of the program, the musicians set out to explore Slavic influences on Venetian Baroque music, rediscovering composers from Istria such as Francesco Usper and Vinko Jelić.
