Concert baroque à 4 voix
Four voices, accompanied by the theorbo, the harpsichord, and the organ, and three centuries of musical imagination: Le Songe du Roi invites you on a journey where refinement rubs shoulders with audacity, where dance meets prayer, and where folk songs find their way even into the most sophisticated music.
In the 17th century, music knew no clear-cut boundaries. Composers borrowed from tunes everyone hummed, transformed a familiar melody into a spiritual song, and blended the art of counterpoint with barroom banter… and in just a few measures, one could move from the wildest celebration to the deepest meditation.
It is this freedom that we wanted to convey in this unique program, performed by four exceptional singers.
In these turbulent times, music proves to be the best of remedies. Treat yourself to 1 hour and 15 minutes of musical delight, invigorating encounters, and a break from anxiety-inducing news! Get your tickets now!
