From the court of Louis XIV to Barbara, the French ensemble La Palatine brings courtly airs and chanson, music and theatre into dialogue with rigour, wit and imagination. In January 2027, it will appear at the Salle Cortot in Paris in “Éros et Thanatos”, alongside French countertenor Rémy Brès-Feuillet, among others.
With “Glosas de oro”, we discover Barbaroco, a young early music ensemble breathing new life into the songbooks of the Spanish Renaissance. The ensemble will perform the programme on 12 September at the Church of Saint-Pierre-Saint-Paul in Gonesse, in the Île-de-France region, before presenting it at Madrid’s Fundación Juan March in January 2027.
Marie Nadeau-Tremblay’s name has risen like a rocket through Quebec’s Baroque music scene in recent years. The colourful violinist, who has built a series of recording projects far off the beaten path, reflects on her journey, her artistic convictions, and the place of art in North American society today.
At 23, the French musician Manon Papasergio is already pursuing a distinctive path between the viola da gamba and early harps, placing them at the service of rarely explored repertoires, from the Renaissance to the threshold of the Baroque. Invited by ensembles such as Les Musiciens de Saint-Julien and Il Caravaggio, and the author of a much-noticed first recording, she moves forward with insatiable musical curiosity and a firmly embraced refusal of boundaries.
At the helm of El Gran Teatro del Mundo, Julio Caballero has, for the past ten years, shaped a distinctive aesthetic centred on the French repertoire of the seventeenth century—born of an original return to the sources, meticulous work on declamation, and a pronounced taste for theatricality. From Bern to Madrid, from the Lullists to Rameau: this is the story of an ensemble that makes each project an informed yet free reinterpretation of the codes of the Grand Siècle and beyond.
For over a decade, the French quartet Kapsber’girls have been reclaiming overlooked pages of the Baroque repertoire. Driven by in-depth research and creative work, the ensemble develops original programmes conceived for the stage and shaped by a strong taste for experimentation. Their journey also sheds light on the practical realities of production and touring today, balancing artistic ambition, collective organisation and a changing sector.
