The new 2014-2015 season of the Ensemble Baroque de Nice will be marked by the theme of “Mythologies.” The audience will be able to enjoy 8 concerts in two baroque churches in Vieux-Nice, Saint-Martin – Saint-Augustin and Saint-François-de-Paule. Each program will be presented twice, on Fridays at 8:30 PM and Sundays at 4:30 PM.
During this season, the ensemble will also have the pleasure of welcoming prestigious soloists: Julie Robard-Gendre (mezzo-soprano), Jean-Christophe Maillard (musette de cour), Claire Lefilliâtre (soprano), and Isabelle Poulenard (soprano). They will perform, alongside the Ensemble Baroque de Nice, some of the most beautiful works of the 17th and 18th centuries by Handel, Charpentier, Clérambault, or Pergolesi…
