19:15 Introduction in Fentener van Vlissingen Foyer

Kourou, a village in French Guiana. It is 1763 and an organized migration campaign brings roughly 11,000 farmers, craftsmen and artists from Europe to the French colony. The goal: to develop a prosperous, scientifically advanced and culturally vibrant community that would be at the forefront of overseas modernity. Political squabbling and logistical upheaval led the migration campaign to failure.

Arlequin Philosophe, Pedro Memelsdorff's new Baroque ensemble, brings out the awkward truth to the rhythm of African love songs, solemn funeral music, dazzling salon hits and religious repertoire from the Guyan jungle.

About the performers

The newly founded ensemble Arlequin Philosophe gathers some of the finest and most celebrated Europe-based young musicians specialized in Baroque and late-Baroque repertoires. Its first performances in Poland and Germany have proven Arlequin Philosophe’s repertoire to be unique in its variety and thought-provoking intensity, as expressed by the many positive reviews in Berlin/Potsdam, Wroclaw, Washington, New Orleans and New York.

Music director, recorder player and musicologist Pedro Memelsdorff has long been a member of Jordi Savall’s Hesperion XXI and of a duo with Andreas Staier. In 1987 he founded the ensemble Mala Punica, specialized in late medieval polyphony. With these ensembles, or as a guest conductor, he has performed in most European countries, in the USA, central and south America, Israel and Japan.
