“The theme of Händel's piece is very topical. Tears are rolling over the score and words of comfort sound in the choir. This piece can offer comfort to the many people who have lost a loved one due to corona. The choice for baroque is one that reflects the valuable legacy of the Radiokoor who back in the 30s and 40s played an important role in the rediscovery of old music. Today we look forward to take on an innovative role in old music. And with Il Gardellino, we have found the perfect partner to realise very creative projects." - Bart Van Reyn, music director
