The Vespres d'Arnadí baroque ensemble will show us once again why it is one of the most reputable orchestras in this genre with two works from the repertoire: Aquatic Music and Music for the Royal Fireworks by G. Händel.

Aquatic Music reveals Handel's mastery as a composer, with his skill in creating vivid and varied melodies and his mastery of orchestration. The work brings together the joy and splendor of the Baroque era, and continues to be appreciated today as one of his masterpieces and one of the most notable contributions to classical music.

Handel wrote Music for the Royal Fireworks in 1749 to accompany the majestic fireworks that illuminated the London sky at the annual Royal Fireworks event. His compositions were an exquisite combination of orchestral music, fanfares and waltzes, with captivating melodies and majestic harmonies. Handel's work knew how to perfectly express the spirit of the celebration, giving life to the colors and movement of the fireworks.
