Handel Music For The Royal Fireworks

Baroque and Wine >

Handel was no stranger to spectacle, but he outdid himself in the Music for the Royal Fireworks, a pyrotechnic celebration of peace that still sizzles in the modern concert hall. The flip side of such heightened Baroque emotion is evident in Dido’s Lament, the heartbreaking death scene by Purcell.

Emerging Artist: Joep Beving

Live at Benaroya Hall >

After the release of his debut album Solipsism, Joep Beving quickly developed an international following as a classical musician. The 2017 release of Prehension, 85 million streams on Spotify, and global touring has solidified his place as one of the world’s most popular living pianists. This unassuming Dutch composer's understated, haunting and melancholic playing leaves audiences spellbound and his delicate melodies give goosebumps. “The world is a hectic place right now,” says Joep. “I feel a deep urge to reconnect on a basic human level with people in general…” Beving’s contemplative neo-classical compositions soothe the soul and serve as the antidote to a world of uncertainty and fear.

National Geographic Live — Social By Nature

2018-2019 National Geographic >

What's a human? We are, at our core, social mammals. We build relationships, communicate, reproduce, establish territories, and adapt to shrinking resources. In these ways, we're no different than other social mammals. Chimpanzees, wolves, gorillas, and bears are among the most charismatic of the mammals we know. We identify with them as species, groups, and even as named individuals. They're also under threat. Join biologist turned photographer Ronan Donovan as he talks about his work in documenting these animals and what we, as fellow social mammals, can learn from them.
