Lalande: Le Poème Harmonique at Versailles

About the Event

Experience Louis XIV's court in an immersive way, as Vincent Dumestre and Le Poème Harmonique perform works by the Sun King's Master of Music in the glorious Royal Chapel of Versailles.

Often compared to Bach, for his command of grandiose musical structure and rhetoric, Lalande's role has frequently been overshadowed by the more widely‐known Lully. Nevertheless, as a composer of primarily religious works, his influence on the French Baroque style cannot be overstated, and his 'Symphonies pour les Soupers du Roi' are among the finest works of their era.
