Our vision
Handel for All is The English Concert’s long-term commitment to film and release every work Handel composed, free of charge, online. The library is built recording by recording, season by season, alongside our concert and touring activity.
Beyond the films themselves, we’re building educational materials, programme notes, and academic context to make the music meet listeners wherever they are — in a school, a library, a living room, a rehearsal hall.
