Join 2021 City Music Foundation Artists Ensemble Hesperi in Barts Great Hall for a celebration of eighteenth century horticultural gift-giving through the music of Telemann and his colleagues. Telemann, one of the most prolific composers of all time, had a much envied garden attached to his Hamburg residence, on which he lavished loving attention. Always searching for new and unusual specimens, he wrote on many occasions to his good friend Handel in London, asking for plants from England. “I am insatiable”, he wrote, “where hyacinths and tulips are concerned, greedy for ranunculi, and especially for anemones.” In his own time, Telemann’s garden was so famous that in 1742 a list of his plants was collated and has survived to the present day.

Ensemble Hesperi is a dynamic and innovative London-based Early Music ensemble, dedicated to showcasing baroque music through imaginative programming and collaboration with other art forms. In 2020, Hesperi were selected as Britten Pears Young Artists, and in November 2020, won first prize at the London International Festival of Early Music Young Ensemble Competition. In 2021, the ensemble was delighted to be one of the first recipients of a grant from the Continuo Foundation, and to win third prize at the prestigious International Van Wassenaer Competition in Utrecht.

Tickets are free with donations encouraged and are available online and on the door.
