International Handel Festival 2011:. In March 2011, the biennial International Handel Festival will convene in Seattle. This event combines numerous performances of Handel’s music with a scholarly conference of some of the world’s leading Handel scholars. The performances will be spread over a three-week period and will involve most of the Seattle-area professional groups. The organizers have invited the Seattle Recorder Society to be involved in order for amateur musicians to participate in the festival as players. The current plan is for the SRS to offer a free reading session on the Royal Fireworks Music and the Water Music in St. James Cathedral on the afternoon of Saturday, March 19, 2011. You will be hearing about this from other sources, too, but we will keep you informed through the SRS newsletter and website. It’s sure to be a grand event.
