Les Plaisirs; The Pleasures

Our first programme of the 2024 celebrates the airs of Michel Lambert (1610 – 1696) and Marc-Antoine Charpentier (1643-1704), and the music written by their contemporaries for the viol, culminating in a rare performance of Charpentier’s Les Plaisirs de Versailles (The Pleasures of Versailles).
