Music Group; Orchestra The beginnings of this orchestra can be traced back to 1981, when the ensemble itself as well as the Handel Choir debuted by performing at the London Handel Festival. The festival itself had been taking place for a few years, as it had been established by Denys Darlow in 1978. The festival constituted an opportunity for many emerging talents as well as accomplished instrumentalists to celebrate Handel’s music and re-acquaint audiences with its ineffable qualities. The London Handel Orchestra has supported this effort not only through captivating performances but through educational initiatives as well, engaging the young generations in projects connected to this specific type of classical music. The ensemble’s current Musical Directors, are Laurence Cummings (since 1999), who has been involved with this project from the very beginning, and Adrian Butterfield International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families - ISAAR(CPF) 2nd edition - ICA 2004 ISBN 2-9521932-2-3 National Council on Archives, Rules for the Construction of Personal, Place and Corporate Names, 1997 Yes RAHSkeyte 5/2/2014 Rachael.Fragola 3/1/2022 41644555-cb62-491d-8b84-888fa0d6499a
