From opera to oratorio in Georg Friedrich Händel
George Frideric Handel: a name that echoes through the halls of time. Born in Halle, the very heart of the late Baroque, he was a tireless traveler, a passionate creator, and a master of music. In 1703, he traveled to Hamburg, where he worked as a violinist and harpsichordist, and there, his first operas emerged, like notes rising from the staff. Handel directed the Royal Academy of Music, composing operas that resonated in the hearts of the aristocracy, and was composer-in-residence at the King's Theatre and Covent Garden Theatre. His 42 operas, 24 oratorios, and more than 102 cantatas filled the halls and the souls of those who listened. The Academy of Early Music presents excerpts from his work for this concert; thus, amidst notes and scores, Handel's legacy transcends like an eternal chord.

The Academy of Early Music (AMA)
The Academy of Early Music (AMA) was founded in 2017 with the aim of complementing the academic and artistic training of young performers of 17th- and 18th-century music at a professional level. This project of the UNAM Music School, the first of its kind created by a higher education institution in Mexico, seeks to contribute to the efforts to research and disseminate early music, with an emphasis on the viceregal repertoire of Spanish America. Among the numerous conductors who have collaborated with the AMA, recent seasons have featured Josep Cabré, Bruno Procopio, Ethel González-Horta, and Aarón Zapico, to name a few. Several musical instructors specializing in Baroque music oversee the learning and technical and stylistic development of the scholarship recipients. Eunice Padilla assumed the artistic direction starting in 2021. The AMA has performed at the Nezahualcóyotl Hall, the Simón Bolívar Amphitheater, the University Book House, Casa del Lago and other venues of the UNAM, as well as other stages in Mexico.
