In the dazzling court of Louis XIV, music was an essential part of daily life - and for over 30 years one man was at its heart. In this special concert, we celebrate the 300th anniversary of Michel-Richard de Lalande, beloved by the Sun King, with three sensational pieces. From the heart-stopping tenderness of De profundis (Out of the depths) to the elegance of music ‘frequently demanded’ for royal suppers, we absolutely adore it - and you will too!
Lalande’s music remained popular in Paris for decades after his death, performed far more than any other composer in the pioneering 'Concert Spirituel' series (1725-90). Come and find out why.
