Marin Marais, conversation with 3 basses
http://www.archipelconsort.eu
On the occasion of the 370th anniversary of the birth of Marin Marais, a great violist of the turn of the 18th century, Archipel invites Simon Waddell on the theorbo to bring to life the pieces for 3 viols from his fourth book of pieces published in 1717. From an expansive and virtuoso prelude to a plaintive sarabande passing through dances with a strong character, these suites of remarkable construction and refined writing highlight the viola da gamba in all its expressive palette.
21h, Four Beers and a Glass of Wine

With the young ensemble Four Beers and a Glass of Wine, discover the world of traditional early music. The musicians invite you on a journey through Ireland with love songs, in Parisian taverns with drinking songs and take you dancing with Walloon dance music. Four Beers and a Glass of Wine brings these traditional airs from 17th and 18th-century collections back to life with momentum, leaving a large place for improvisation. Let yourself be surprised by the unusual lyrics, the ornamentations of the violin and recorder and the sweet chords of the theorbo.
