Les Trésors d'Orphie
The myth of Orpheus, the supreme musician capable of moving the underworld, illustrates the power of music in numerous works from the Baroque period. This concert presents a repertoire based on this theme, which evokes both tragedy and wonder. You will hear works by Francisque, Couperin, Boësset, Moulinié, Lambert, and Gauthier. Antoine Francisque [François] was a French lutenist and composer born around 1570 in Saint-Quentin and died in 1605 in Paris.
