The evening's programme will be:

Rameau

Suite in G (1724)

Jean-Philippe Rameau’s Suite in G is a vivid example of the French Baroque style. The suite features movements that blend both traditional dance forms and character pieces. Rameau’s harmonic inventiveness, intricate ornamentation, and rhythmic vitality showcase his mastery of the harpsichord. Highlights include the lively Menuets, the expressive L’enharmonique, and the playful La Poule, a character piece brimming with energy. The suite demonstrates Rameau’s ability to balance elegance with emotional depth, while pushing the boundaries of harmonic color and virtuosic technique.
