In 1733, the French artist Philippe Mercier was commissioned to paint The Music Party, in which the young, music-loving Frederick, Prince of Wales, plays chamber music with his two sisters. The University Baroque Ensemble and Ensemble Hesperi present a joyful programme of instrumental and vocal music by the circle of composers the royal couple knew and loved: Handel, Arne, the Italian oboe virtuoso Giuseppe Sammartini, and the Scottish cellist and composer James Oswald.
