Le Poème Harmonique
Le Poème Harmonique is one of those ensembles you can never get enough of. As soon as the spirited group, led by Vincent Dumestre, takes the stage, something intangible happens: music takes on colour, stories come to life, and time seems to stand still. With their theatrical flair and historical imagination, they immerse the audience in a world that is as sensual as it is compelling.
For this programme, Dumestre and his musicians draw inspiration from 18th-century Venice, where impressive processions and religious festivities defined the cityscape. In a mix of exuberance and stillness, pious folk songs and rediscovered polyphony resound. The highlight is Vivaldi’s enchanting Nisi Dominus, performed here by the brilliant mezzo-soprano Eva Zaïcik. She gives this masterpiece a new lustre in an interpretation that is both intimate and grand.
With an introduction by Annelies Andries (19:15 hrs, in Dutch) and a Q&A session (after the concert, in English), both taking place in the Fentener van Vlissingen Foyer (limited capacity)
