The English Concert will present a concert performance of Handel’s comic cantata Clori, Tirsi and Fileno at Wigmore Hall. Led by director Harry Bicket, the cast features the voices of sopranos Ailish Tynan as Clori and Joélle Harvey as Tirsi, and countertenor Iestyn Davies as Fileno.
Handel’s work features three characters whose emotions and desires intertwine amidst the idyllic beauty of nature. The graceful melodies, expressive arias, and poetic storytelling of this cantata eloquently capture Handel’s genius and invites audiences to immerse themselves in this soundworld.
