A chamber concert dedicated to instrumental works by French composers of the first half of the 18th century will present the repertoire that was intended to provide entertainment to the French royal court in their chambers. During the reign of Louis XIV, music was heard at the French royal court on numerous occasions, from lavish celebrations in the palace or gardens of Versailles to equally grand ceremonies in the royal chapel and almost daily intimate musical productions in the royal chambers. With the accession to the throne of Louis XV, Queen Marie Leszczyńska took over the main patronage of the regular concerts in the court chambers. The programme of the concert will transport the audience to imaginary concerts at court, featuring works by royal chamber musicians of these two generations, full of the elegance of dance and refined wit.
