About this concert
Under the influence of folk music such as the vaudeville and the villanella, a rich tradition of airs de cour flourished at the French royal court for a hundred years. Half music and half poetry: the humanistic songs of Pléiade poets such as Ronsard and Baïf and composers such as Guédron, Caïétain and Le Blanc are in the best possible hands with Le Poème Harmonique.

About the performers
Le Poème Harmonique, under the direction of Vincent Dumestre, focuses on vocal and instrumental music of the 17th and early 18th centuries, and also regularly creates links with other artistic disciplines. For instance, the ensemble has collaborated with actors, dancers and circus artists in large-scale productions such as Le Bourgeois gentilhomme (Molière), Cadmus et Hermioneand Phaéton (Lully). Le Poème Harmonique is also praised for its refined approach to the 16th-century air de cour genre and for its performance of the Baroque Leçons de ténèbres by Francois Couperin.
