Tafelmusik presents: Feast for the Senses-Lalande & Rameau

Savour the multi-layered subtleties of French baroque music with Amandine Beyer. Though almost a decade has passed since the Tafelmusik debut of French violinist Amandine Beyer, the impact of her “majestic, gossamer, hypnotic” playing (Le Monde) continues to resonate deeply. For her highly anticipated return to our stage, Beyer has crafted a musical menu with a predominantly French flavour, evoking the elegance and grandeur of Versailles and Paris. Lalande’s Symphonie pour le souper du roi, a suite that was often heard tableside at the request of King Louis XIV, is paired with Muffat’s musical bouquets “Graditudo” (Gratitude) and “Laeta Poesis” (Joyful Poetry), inspired by the culinary and horticultural arts. Our feast for the senses includes a soupçon of chamber music by Élisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre, a renowned harpsichordist and composer whose talent caught the attention of the Sun King. A suite of dances by Rameau fires up a colourful palette of orchestral sonorities and textures.
