Water Music - Music for the Royal Fireworks

Concert at Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre

The Athens State Orchestra presents two pieces of George Frideric Handel which bring us mentally to London:

"Water Music" to the River Thames in early 18th century, where it premiered in response to King George I's request for a concert, and "Music for the Royal Fireworks", premiered in London's Green Park, under contract of George II.
