Starting in the 1710s and continuing through the eighteenth century, musicians of all types used Handel’s music on their concert programs, most especially during their benefit evenings.1 These special events were dedicated to promoting a sole performer (or other members of the theatrical staff at a particular playhouse or concert hall). As was tradition, performers would have organized these events from beginning to end by hiring the other performers, renting the theater, creating advertisements, soliciting patrons, and The Handel Festival in Halle took place this year from programming the concert. Advertisements suggest that singers Friday, May 27 to Sunday, June 12, 2016 with the theme “History – and instrumentalists employed Handel’s music in benefit concerts Myth – Enlightenment.” Following the pattern established last year, for their own professional gain.

  • NEWSLETTER of the American Handel Society
    NEWSLETTER of The American Handel Society Volume XXV, Number 2 Summer 2010 REPORT FROM HALLE 2010 The Handel Festival in Halle opened this year on June 3 with the Traditional Ceremony at the Handel Memorial in the Market Square, followed by the Official Opening Ceremony and the Opening Concert. The latter two events were separated from each other for the first time, allowing for a more extensive concert. The guests invited to the Opening Ceremony witnessed the Handel Prize of the City of Halle being awarded to Cecilia Bartoli, who had performed a hugely popular concert in the city last October and who would present another on the final night of this year’s festival. The theme for this year’s festival was “Knights and Heroes” and the musical focus was on operas derived from Ludovico Ariosto’s 16th-century epic poem Orlando furioso. As usual there were more concerts and other events than one person could attend. The Opening Concert featured the Händelfestspielorchester Halle conducted by Karl-Heinz Steffens, since 2008 the General Music Anthony Hicks (1943 - 2010) Director of the Staatskapelle Halle, in music by Antonio Vivaldi, Johann Adolph Hasse, Giovanni Batista Mele and ANTHONY HICKS REMEMBERED Nicola Porpora, as well as by Handel. Arias from Vivaldi’s Orlando furioso, Hasse’s Ruggiero, ovvero L’Eroica gratitudine, Anthony Hicks died in London on May 26, 2010 Porpora’s Angelica e Medoro, and Mele’s setting of the at the age of 67.
