Event Details
Leclair, Rameau, and the Age of Enlightenment
Monica Huggett and Byron Schenkman join Toma Iliev and Joanna Blenduff to form a lively quartet of top-notch early music performers. They offer the most virtuosic and tantalizing music of the French Baroque by Couperin, Leclair, and Rameau. These composers embraced both French and Italian style, a musical flowering that coincided with the Age of Enlightenment’s expansive and rational philosophies.
