First, a recorder recital, Le Tisseur de vent, will further acquaint us with the art of Francis Colpron, our musical director. Then, Meslanges harmoniques will take us on a journey to Renaissance France, exploring both its earthiness and naturalistic poetry as well as its composers’ contrapuntal skill. Finally, a selection of the most delightful concert works by Georg Philipp Telemann, “the peerless master”, will feature solo slots for each member of the ensemble.
