Who’s that taking the King to a concert?
NewsIt’s John Gilhooly, director of the Wigmore Hall, showing King Charles to his seat at the hall’s new early-music venue, the church of St James, Spanish Place.
On the menu was Handel’s four coronation anthems and his Dettingen Te Deum, performed by the French ensemble, Le Concert Spirituel.
They say: GOD SAVE THE KING – Wigmore Hall. Yesterday night was an amazing night !
Souvenirs en photos d’une soirée particulière qui nous a valu l’honneur de la présence de sa majesté le Roi Charles III. A l’occasion de la date londonienne de notre tournée du programme « God save the King! », les Coronation Anthems de Haendel ont plus que jamais pris un sens particulier. Merci Londres, le Wigmore Hall, l’église St James et la BBC Radio 3 pour votre accueil ! Nous reviendrons.
Fancy having a king who actually enjoys listening to music ! I hope we appreciate it, rather than make snarky remarks.
Mindless secularism.
Always one on here with nothing good to say, isn’t there!
