Classical music in the UK is facing a multifaceted crisis. Schools are losing music programmes, whilst rising costs make concert tickets a luxury. Both individuals and wider society alike are being deprived of music’s transformative powers to unite, embolden and fulfil. As we build momentum with Handel for All it becomes ever clearer that this is not just a light-hearted endeavour, but an essential and lasting investment in the future of this exceptional art form.

Combining world class performances with digital innovation, The English Concert is filming every single piece of Handel's music, creating a free and accessible online resource for everyone. With vivid and engaging performances, online learning materials, knowledge and insight shared by experts, and a programme of targeted outreach work, H4A has the potential to redefine the way people interact with classical music forever.
