A £50,000 bequest to the OU’s Music department has helped to fund research into the work of Handel.

Music lover Florence Rigg who studied with the OU during the 80s (gaining a BA Hons), requested her legacy be used for Musical Studies.

Head of Music Dr Bob Samuels interviews Helen Green, who will be undertaking the research which provides an insight into eighteenth century music.
