    Overview

    Florilegium’s programme includes works by some of the greatest French chamber music composers employed by the courts of Louis XIV and XV. Rebel’s Les caractères de la danse is one of the first choreographed ‘symphonies’, a popular genre in eighteenth-century France.

    Two of Telemann’s celebrated ‘Paris Quartets’ frame this concert and bear witness to the international reach of French musical fashions three centuries ago.
