Les Musiciens de Saint-Julien

Les Musiciens de Saint-Julien

Discovering new music by Marin Marais? That is like finding a Van Gogh in the attic! In 2023, an early 18th-century manuscript surfaced containing unknown pieces for flute and basso continuo. François Lazarevitch and Les Musiciens de Saint-Julien present this unique find alongside arrangements of Marais’s gamba music. A Baroque programme full of exquisite dances, plaintes and musettes, with the flute acting as the prompter for the human voice.
