Every year the festival’s international audience is offered new pieces, rediscoveries and a variety of styles of performance, many held in Halle’s historic buildings such as the cathedral, St Mark’s church, Handel’s House and the Goethe theatre in Bad Lauchstädt.
AC/E is collaborating with the Händel Festival in 2014 by supporting the participation of the Spanish group Accademia del Piaccere, whose programme entitled Las idas y las vueltas: músicas mestizas (Comings and Goings: Mestizo Music) consists of a dialogue between Flamenco – represented by the singer Arcangel – and Baroque music of the Spanish colonial period, with Fahmi Alqhaias musical director.
