International academic conference on the Handel Festival in Halle an der Saale, June 7, 10 to 12, 2025
The 2025 International Academic Conference takes a closer look at the Italian texts Handel set to music and his contacts with Italian literature and librettists, and attempts comparisons with other 18th-century composers. In a round table chaired by Prof. em. Reinhard Strohm (Oxford), questions concerning the critical edition, translation and digitisation of Handel’s Italian texts will be investigated and discussed.
Finally, the conference also gives researchers the opportunity to present the latest and most recent results of Handel research to a scholarly audience in free papers.
The event will start with the awarding of the 2025 International Handel Research Prize.
