In March, the 30-year-old American Handel Festival is coming to Seattle's First Hill - with concerts. lectures, dance and theater productions -- even a horticultural slide show! -- right in our neighborhood, at St. James Cathedral, Trinity Parish Hall (and Church), the Frye Art Museum, the Sorrento Hotel, Plymouth Congregational Church, and Town Hall. For a complete schedule of events, here's a link to the festival brochure: http://www.americanhandelfestival.org/wp-content/uploads/American-Handel-Festival-Booklet.pdf
The international Handel scholars will hold their conference at St. James Pastoral Outreach Center March 24-27. Down the hill in Trinity Parish Hall 100 choral singers will be rehearsing Handel Choruses March 23-26, and enjoying a baroque dance demo by Seattle Early Dance, a short course on Handel, a recital by Baroque flutist Janet See, and much more. Stop by and hear them sing! Then on Saturday they'll move to Plymouth Congregational and sing a noontime concert with full orchestra! Should be spectacular.
Lots of daytime events. Lots of evening events. First Hill is going to be alive with the sound of music in March. Info at www.americanhandelfestival.org.
