Today, the Dresden Philharmonic is really letting off some fireworks. Many centuries ago, fireworks were set off to celebrate great occasions. This was also the case in April 1749, when the British King George II, who came from Hanover, organized a great peace festival. George Frideric Handel composed music for the occasion that is still popular today because it puts people in such a good mood. We can only hope that little Phili doesn't get any ideas, or does she? Daniel will have his work cut out for him this morning. But don't worry! The fire department is always present at every concert at the Kulturpalast.
