New England Baroque— a period ensemble of some of Boston’s most dynamic players— brings to life the music of a circle of baroque composers living in or strongly influenced by the booming musical culture of 17th-century Venice in Friends and Rivals. This program explores these composers’ influences and relationships through their music, especially highlighting the fond long-distance friendship between George Frideric Handel and Georg Philipp Telemann, and the competitive rivalry between Handel and Nicola Porpora.
