G.F. Handel in his 50s and 60s
Finally I managed to extend my knowledge of the oratorios beyond Messiah. So I discovered the the mix of tender arias and glorious choruses in Solomon, the lush inventiveness of Hercules and (surprise) a quartet in Jephtha, Handel's last work.

In almost 40 years it has helped 3,000 musicians to find their voice. The EUYO’s Honorary Patrons include heads of Government of all 28 member states, as well as the President of the European Commission and the President of the European Parliament.

On the positive side, Louise has worked at both Bavarian State Opera and as tech director at ENO. press release Today, 9 March 2016, ENO announces that Louise Jeffreys is joining the ENO Board of Trustees with immediate effect. Louise Jeffreys is Director of Arts at the Barbican Centre and is responsible for the formulation, implantation and delivery of the Barbican’s artistic programme and strategic vision.
