Chance for youngsters to enjoy Handel's work
Summer School
Handel House Museum
OPERA is not the most accessible of art forms so it is good to see the excellent Handel House Museum hosting a summer school encouraging children to get involved.
So, as the long summer holidays begin, children can go to the museum in Brook Street, Mayfair, for a four-day experience and create their own version of Handel’s Julius Caesar in Egypt.
The course has been made in conjunction with Bloomsbury Foundling Museum and lasts four days from Monday.
The event involves music, singing, costume making, acting and dancing.
Education teams from both museums will be involved and Handel House composer-in-residence Mark Bowden and composer Paul Ayres will be leading the way.
Handel’s original is a most ambitious and popular work premiered in February 1724 garnering great public admiration.
For more information ring the museum on 020 7495 1685.
