Händel & Hendrix – an imaginary encounter, a dance workshop as an intermezzo, and music for drinking and dancing in London pubs

APOLLO’S CABINET
JUTTA VOß / Dance

When rock guitarist Jimi Hendrix moved into his small apartment at 23 Brook Street in London in 1968, he had no idea that right next door had lived none other than Georg Friedrich Händel, but unfortunately more than 200 years earlier. What if the two had actually crossed paths, if Hendrix had grabbed his guitar and knocked on Händel's door to propose a jam session? In its new program "Händel & Hendrix," the London early music ensemble Apollo’s Cabinet lets the music of both legends encounter each other. The second half of the concert takes you into the vibrant alehouse and dance culture of the 17th and 18th centuries. There, improvisation, singing, and dancing happen to "Ground" bass models, over which melodies and new musical encounters can freely unfold. In between the two halves of the concert, Jutta Voß invites everyone to learn simple historical dances together. Thus, music becomes a sociable, communal experience – just like in Händel's time.

Doors open: 7:00 PM

Currently, this event is fully booked. Tickets may become available at a later time.
