Firm Friends – Bach, Handel and Telemann

Ensemble Échos presents a programme of solos and trios by the most famous of baroque

composers, Bach, Handel and Telemann, all of whom were born in the same year and were

well-acquainted in their own time. The programme explores familiar and lesser known

chamber works by this baroque triumvirate including contemporary arrangements from some

of Handel’s most famous works as well as the infamous Air with Variations from the

Keyboard Suite in E major, better known as the ‘Harmonious Blacksmith’.

Ensemble Échos performs on period instruments in a historically informed manner. Each

member has their own, active and varied career as a musician, but we come together to

share our knowledge and passion for music of the baroque age.
