The Kosciuszko Foundation: 15 E 65th St, NYC
Audiences are invited into the unique sound world of Louis XIV’s France, where the viola da gamba reigned supreme. This intimate program pairs the luminous suites of Marin Marais with the profound, rarefied voices of his legendary teacher, Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe, and contemporaries such as Robert de Visée and Francesco Corbetta. From courtly dances to panging tombeaux, the music traces a lineage of elegance and daring invention—ornamented lines unfurl over a murmuring continuo as passions flicker between shadow and candlelight.
At once sumptuous and introspective, these works reveal a private Versailles: salons humming with gossip, gardens steeped in perfume, and musicians pushing their art to its expressive edge. Whether you’re new to French Baroque or already a devoted listener, harpist Parker Ramsay and gambist Arnie Tanimoto will offer an hour of refinement, virtuosity and intimacy.
