English music came alive with its greatest 17th century composer Henry Purcell. Other English composers followed, leading to London residencies of Handel and Johann Christian Bach, the ‘London Bach’ as he came to be known. We explore and celebrate England’s rich musical life of the time, in the company of the WSO Chamber Players.

Virtuosi Concerts are held in Eckhardt-Gramatté Hall at The University of Winnipeg.
