Ensemble Molière, a brilliant period ensemble who have been BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists, bring a delectable programme of dance music by two very different geniuses, Handel and Rameau. The juxtaposition of German and French high baroque music with a bit of Italian music thrown in for good measure means that the festival will end in toe-tapping style.

*Concession prices are available to under 26s, full-time students, Jobseekers Allowance Receivers, Pension Credit Receivers and visitors with a disability.  Concession seating will be in balcony, rear and sides of venue. Only one concession may apply per ticket

 

A free Essential Companion (carer) ticket is available to those who require one to attend.

Ensemble Molière are clearly totally absorbed into the French Baroque style of performing, their eloquent playing revealing the sensitivities and bon goût that the genre demands.
