About this concert

Baroque, Rococo, galant style: handy labels for designing history books. Up-and-coming harpsichord talent Louise Acabo refutes the canon with a soundscape of early eighteenth-century France which reveals that contemporaries did not always compose in unison. The typically French composing style of Gaspard Le Roux and the experimental keyboard oeuvre of Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre prove her point.
