The King's 24 Violins at Versailles: Campra & Rameau

Sobre o Evento

In its efforts to revive the tradition of the King’s twenty‐four Violins (dessus, hautes‐contre, tailles, quintes and bass violins), the CMBV associates every two years with prestigious European music schools to give young musicians, brought together in an international academy meant to revive this mythic orchestra and its repertoire.

As part of the Rameau year in 2014, the Twenty‐four Violins Orchestra Academy will explore a new part of the French repertoire, going from the Grand Siècle to the Siècle the Lumières.

Conducted by Patrick Cohën‐Akenine, the students of the High College for Music of Catalonia, of the Royal College of Music of London and of the Royal Conservatory of Brussels will play in Versailles and in prestigious locations and festivals in France and in Europe, contributing to the prestige of French culture.

Guests holding tickets in the Prestige category, in addition to enjoying the best seats in the house, will be offered a glass of Champagne and a program.
