The Splendour of French Baroque Music

EVENT DESCRIPTION

In this unique performance, Concerto da Camera’s Baroque Ensemble and the great Baroque dancer Pierre-François Dollé (France) will bring to the Hong Kong audience what Louis XIV wanted to cultivate: dance as the epitome of aristocratic art.

French composers and musicians aimed to thrill the senses via the intellect, with sensory perceptions serving comprehension. Many composers from outside of France were influenced by the French style. They adapted French elements such as ballet as well as graceful French-style ornamentation in their works.

In this concert, Concerto da Camera Baroque Ensemble will collaborate with Pierre-François Dollé, dancer and choreographer, to offer you a feast of French Baroque splendour.
