François Couperin, known as “Couperin the Great,” died in 1733. A composer whose genius was recognized by King Louis XIV, he developed a unique and recognizable musical language that established French music as the epitome of grace and elegance. Couperin had a profound influence on his contemporaries, and the decade of the 1730s remains to this day one of the most beautiful periods in French music. This concert invites you to travel back in time to the day after the master’s death. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear the music of Couperin and his contemporaries, spiced with a side of historical gossip! Join the Barocudas for an immersive, completely Baroque evening!
