"Love, appears on [the French] stage with a
propriety, a delicacy, a truthfulness not to be found elsewhere. It is
because, among the nations of the world, the French are the most expert
in social matters."
- Voltaire, 1736
Join The Burney Ensemble, together with guest
soprano Elizabeth MacIsaac, in a program of music by Couperin,
Guillemain, Monteclair and Clerambault: a sensuous, seductive and
delicious program of French music celebrating the season of Love!
Musicians:
Elizabeth
MacIsaac - soprano
Sonja Boon - baroque flute
Paul Luchkow - baroque violin
Nan Mackie - viola da gamba
Valerie Weeks - harpsichord
As at every Burney Ensemble performance you will hear brilliant music,
along with gossip, scandal, anecdotes and commentary - all on the
subject
of "l'amour!" - drawn from the writings of Charles Burney and
his French contemporaries.
