Sir, – Congratulations to The Irish Times on highlighting the life and resting place of Handel’s contemporary, Francesco Geminiani, (An Irishman’s Diary, September 17th). I was left with a broad grin on my face having read John Brophy’s piece, a fine multi-instrumentalist himself and stalwart of many an orchestra and group keeping music baroque and classical music alive in our towns and villages. Fair play. – Yours, etc,
