Full Event Details
The Concert Spirituel provided entertainment during religious holidays when staged performances were banned. It immediately became a prestigious avenue for composers and virtuoso performers, as well as an important cornerstone in the development of both sacred choral and secular instrumental genres. This programme highlights the latter with iconic works by the most significant composers associated with the series. Exquisite masterpieces of the French Baroque by Philidor, Dornel, Rebel, Leclair, Forqueray, Rameau, featuring Telemann’s iconic 'Paris' Quartets No.1 & No.3.
Gabriel Alves - baroque flute & recorder
