About the event
The Fairy Queen
Friday 9 October, 7.30pm
Henry Purcell's enchanting The Fairy Queen comes to St George's Church in a magical semi-staged production inspired by Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Performed by the London Handel Players alongside BREMF Emerging Artists, this performance brings together outstanding professional musicians and rising young talent in one of the masterpieces of the English Baroque.
A delightful evening of glorious music, enchanting characters and theatrical storytelling.
