ANAM Harmonies Du Soir. French chamber music festival: Versailles – Centre Pompidou – Notre-Dame
Harmonies Du Soir. A festival of French chamber music. A beautiful way to bring the year together.
This concert moves through three symbolic landmarks of French culture and the historical turning points surrounding each one. We work backwards in time from the exposed experimentalism of the Centre Pompidou and Pierre Boulez’s grand vision of modernism spilling out of IRCAM, hearing the bold contemporary voices of Thierry Escaich and Clara Maïda. Slipping back in time to the splendour of the seventeenth-century Court of Versailles, we hear Jean-Baptiste Lully crafting what a French sound should be under the eye and tastes of Louis XIV. And finally to the eternal Notre-Dame, standing for nearly nine hundred years through fire and famine, wherein echoes the sacred and secular traditions of the French Baroque in works by Élisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre, Jean-Marie Leclair and François Couperin.
