AAM returns to Hall for Cornwall for the first time since 2017.
Under the direction of harpsichordist and former Music Director Richard Egarr, AAM returns to Hall for Cornwall with Handel’s two most popular orchestral suites – Water Music, first performed in 1717 on barges on the River Thames to celebrate the coronation of King George I – and Music for the Royal Fireworks, written just over 30 years later for an outdoor spectacular at the command of his successor, King George II.
