The Angel Field Festival is an annual highlight of musical events at Liverpool Hope University, named after the farm which was originally located on the site of the current Creative Campus.
This year, the festival has an Italian influence.
This concert takes us from the Baroque splendours of Monteverdi to Cherubini, an esteemed contemporary of Beethoven and onto Rossini before touching on the 20 th century with Respighi and Malipiero.
Both these latter were influenced by Italian music of the past, coating it with contemporary colours.
Handel travelled widely in Italy as a young man and absorbed the styles of the day which he brought to
England where he settled.
A stand-out piece tonight is the world premiere of Steve Davismoon’s A Guiding Hand which is based around an old Italian melody.
Here, in the space of one evening, you can travel over 400 years of music, written in or inspired by Italy.
