Museums at Night: Halloween Friday Late
Handel & Hendrix at Halloween
Description
This Halloween, join us for a late-night opening inspired by the supernatural stories of our two historic houses.
For this year’s Museums at Night festival, we bring you an evening of live music, performances and interactive activities to celebrate the darker sides of the lives and music of Handel & Hendrix.
Ghosts, witches, voodoo, even an exorcism; the history of 23 and 25 Brook Street is full of references to magic and the occult and it is this spirit that invokes our next Halloween Friday Late.
Taking place throughout Handel House will be operatic performances and Baroque music performed by tenor Charles MacDougall and theorbo player Jonatan Bougt.
On top of that a variety of Georgian characters from Handel’s London will be brought to life in the great composer’s Composition Room & Bedroom.
Over in 23 Brook Street, where Jimi Hendrix called home from 1968-69, will be film projections, and life-drawing, all to a soundtrack of psychedelic tunes courtesy of Art Macabre, creators of London’s best life drawing and death drawing workshops.
To top all this off there will be tarot reading, face painting and a pop-up bar featuring a few surprises. Don’t miss out on this rare opportunity to visit the whole house after hours, lit by candle and haunted by ghostly figures of the past.
