To mark the beginning of Holy Week, we present an offering of rarely-performed music from the grand siècle to inspire reflection and contemplation. Much of the music on this program was written for the royal chapels of Louis XIV and represents some of the most exquisite sacred composition of the French Baroque.
Following the concert, all are invited to join the artists for a brief wine-and-cheese reception.
