For over twenty-five years, since making their debut at Handel’s parish church, St. George’s Hanover Square, as part of the London Handel Festival in 2000, the London Handel Players have thrilled audiences across the world with their performances and recordings. Praised by the New York Times for their 'soulful depth' and their 'consummate skill and musicianship', the ensemble appears regularly at major venues and festivals both around the UK and internationally, specialising in baroque chamber music and concertos and collaborating with some of the world’s leading singers.

Closely associated with the music of George Frideric Handel, they also explore the work of his contemporaries to present a vast repertoire of gems from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Committed educators at every level and holding professorships in Historical Performance at London’s Conservatoires, The London Handel Players give numerous masterclasses and workshops. Recent tours have taken them to Madeira, Cyprus and Spain.

They will celebrate the Christmas season with arias by J S Bach and the Christmas Cantata by Alessandro Scarlatti, as well as instrumental arrangements of traditional carols and works by Praetorius, Frescobaldi, Charpentier, Corelli, Vivaldi and Mozart.
