Church of Szent MihályExactly 250 ago German composer George Frideric Händel died at the age of 74 in London. Fifty years later Austrian composer Joseph Haydn was dying in Vienna at the age of 77. To commemorate these two anniversaries, the Budapest Baroque Festival is dedicating its fourth edition to the two great composers with fourteen evening concerts at Budapest’s St. Michael’s Church, from September 17 to September 11.

The recently renovated baroque church of Szent Mihály in Váci street has perfect acoustics and is no wonder that the Festival has chosen it as its venue for the second year. During the festival, the most well-knowHändel and Haydn n or even rarely heard of works by the two masters and their contemporaries will be performed by Hungarian and foreign ensembles as well as modern orchestras. The works include Händel’s Judas Maccabeus, Dixit Dominus, Gloria (in Hungarian premiere), Latin motets, organ concertos, concerto grosso’s, and Haydn’s The Creation, Nelson Mess, harpsichord concertos and motets.
