TICKETS + INFORMATION

Many of us (by which I mean me) first came to the French Baroque through William Christie and Les Arts Florissants’ performances of Charpentier’s vocal/instrumental music for Holy Week. In a style that can lay claim to being among the most exquisite Western music ever written, these pieces might be the most exquisite of all. But don’t think that means they aren’t moving. And Christie and LAF are their greatest interpreters — maybe ever.
