Reconstruction of an original concert from 14th May 1745 Join Manchester Baroque as we reconstruct an original concert programme that took place in our city on 14thMay 1745. Our Artistic Director, Prof. Dr Pauline Nobes, came across in Manchester’s Central Library a transcript of sixteen subscription concert programmes which took place between November 2nd 1744 and August 20th 1745. We have been working our way reconstructing these concerts since Manchester Baroque formed, so join us on our next instalment! The music comes largely from popular 18th Century composers, with any gaps in the programme filled from Manchester's rich archives of music. Performing this music on period instruments and playing in Manchester’s only surviving 18th Century Church really brings Manchester’s musical history to life. Original programme for the 14th May 1745 concert 'May 14th. - Overture to Alexander; German flute concerto; song; first organ concerto of Felton; first sonata of Humphreys. 2nd Act. First overture to Admetus; song; seventh concerto of Corelli; violin solo; Handel's water music.'
