Support Handel for All

Handel for All is our project to film the complete works of Handel and release them free of charge. Since launching the project in 2023, we’ve shared films of Saul, Samson, Rodelinda, and more. We believe this music needs to be heard by the widest audience possible, with no barriers.

Rehearsing and filming a Handel opera costs thousands of pounds, through performance, recording, editing, post-production, and subtitling. It’s all possible thanks to those who support our work.

When The English Concert began, we first met our audience through the rapidly-expanding recordings of the 80s and 90s. Handel for All is a variation on this theme, and a way to embrace the new technology of the 21st century. It can be enjoyed by anyone, anytime, anywhere.

In the words of Handel for All viewers

“I love your online presence. I am elderly and have played and taught violin and viola for many years. I have a very modest pension and am grateful to be able to hear you without cost.”

“What a beautiful performance. This piece was a favourite of my mother, who died recently. Thanks for reminding me of her.”

“Just a sweep away of everything that clutters our lives. So much beauty, so much charm and delicacy… Wonderful.”
