Handel Hendrix House

Handel’s Salon in partnership with Classic Art London

We are so excited to welcome author and Country Life's art market editor, Huon Mallalieu, to the House, where he will join our lead curator, Claire Davies, to discuss his newly published book, The Ear of the Beholder.

Huon’s book explores how artists have represented sound in paintings throughout time, from the literal depiction of musical instruments to the sights and sounds of landscapes. Together, Claire and Huon will look at Handel’s own art collection and how his favoured artists represented the sounds of the scenes they were painting.

What’s on this May at Handel Hendrix House 🌿

It’s a busy month across the House, with a packed programme of live music, events and experiences - and thanks to you, we’re already off to a great start with two sold out concerts, one for Handel and one for Hendrix!

There’s plenty to discover throughout the month, including the return of 'Georgian Cookery', with live demonstrations and a special evening event, 'Handel’s Italian Feast'.

Handel’s Salon returns this May–June 🎶

Our new programme is now live and available to book.

Bringing music and ideas back into the rooms where Handel once lived and worked, Handel’s Salon offers a fresh way to explore his world and legacy.

This season includes Nathaniel Mander’s 'Handel Through Mozart’s Eyes', an intimate recital pairing Handel’s keyboard works with music by one of his greatest admirers, Mozart - reflecting the story at the heart of our current exhibition, 'Handel Through Mozart’s Eyes'.

Alongside the concerts, 'The Ear of the Beholder' offers a different kind of Salon, as author Huon Mallalieu joins our lead curator Claire Davies as they discuss his book and explore how artists have captured sound in visual form, with connections to Handel’s own art collection and the world he inhabited.

We were so honoured to welcome His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh to Handel Hendrix House on Monday. 

During the visit, His Royal Highness explored both of our historic homes on Brook Street, from Handel’s music room to Hendrix’s bedroom, and experienced live performances of the music once filled the rooms. 

The Duke was given a first look at material from our upcoming exhibition, ‘Hendrix in London’, opening this June, which brings together previously unseen archive material to reveal a more personal side to Hendrix’s life in the city.  This material was acquired with the support of Lottery Fund.  

We also shared our plans to celebrate our 25th anniversary this year, including a new Handel exhibition in September and a special musical celebration in November.
It was a special moment for everyone involved, including our volunteers, whose passion and dedication are essential to the museum.
