Telemann, Bach and Handel. These three composers of the same era enjoyed impressive parallel careers. Although they knew of each other, they had little personal contact. Those present at our concert will discover what they shared and what set them apart, and the extent to which their music was influenced by social and geographical differences.

Host: Csaba Somos, Choirmaster of the Hungarian National Choir
