Deux Violes Esgales - French Music for Two Violas da Gamba

  • Church of St. Mary 440 Grand Street New York, New York, 10002 United States (map)

Step into the intimate world of seventeenth-century France, where two of today's leading interpreters of French Baroque music, Myriam Rignol and Mathilde Vialle, bring to life the extraordinary music of the legendary Sainte-Colombe and his celebrated pupil Marin Marais, alongside a new work by Doug Balliett. Immortalized in the film Tous les matins du monde, these composers transformed the expressive possibilities of the viol, creating music of astonishing beauty, tenderness, and virtuosity. From whispered conversations to dazzling displays of brilliance, this programme reveals a rich musical world far removed from the grandeur of Versailles - one of intimacy, imagination, and deeply human emotion. This is a rare opportunity to experience one of the most beautiful and deeply moving corners of the French Baroque repertoire.
