Additional Information
Presented on Tuesday, January 20, at the superb Art Deco venue Le 9e, the Caprice: BAROQUE program aims to be “a dazzling musical adventure, where interaction with the audience creates a lively and immersive experience.” More specifically, the program features French Baroque music from the court of Louis XIV, with performances of works by the most renowned composers as well as lesser-known or completely anonymous ones, including Marin Marais, Jean-Philippe Rameau, Jean-Marie Léclair, and even a score by an unidentified composer. With a small ensemble of flutes, baroque cello, baroque guitar, and percussion, Caprice has opted for a small chamber music configuration. What’s more, chocolate is also on the program for this 5 à 6 au 9e! Intrigued? Matthias Maute explains the connection and the general approach of this concert.
