About this concert

Brazen, disturbing, uncompromisingly modern: with Le printemps Claude Lejeune wrote an experimental collection of songs in which the rhythm determines all parameters. With his music modelled on ancient verses, Lejeune had the Sorbonne’s academics scared stiff. Denis Raisin Dadre stands up for the mutinous genius and reinstates his powerful musique mesurée à l'antique.

About the performers

Doulce Mémoire was established by Denis Raisin Dadre in 1990, and is a modern version of what in the 17th century was called a concert des voix et des instruments. The group rapidly secured a place in the world of Renaissance music, thanks to their original and much talked-about programmes. Doulce Mémoire has appeared at leading early music festivals throughout the world (including Boston, Utrecht, Beaune and Saintes).

Doulce Mémoire is supported by the Centre-Loire Valley Regional Council, the Ministry of Culture – DRAC Centre-Loire Valley, the Institut Français – Ministry of Foreign Affairs for its foreign tours, the Indre-et-Loire Departemental Council and the City of Tours. Doulce Mémoire receives support for specific projects from SPEDIDAM, ADAMI and FCM. Doulce Mémoire is a member of Fevis and Profedim.
