About: Georg Friedrich Händel

Born in Halle in 1685, Händel reshaped European music across four decades in London - his operas, oratorios, and orchestral suites set a standard that outlasted the Baroque era itself. From the thunderous Hallelujah chorus to the stately Water Music, his works draw audiences to concert halls worldwide to this day.
