One of the brightest stars in the musical firmament of the French court was a woman! The refinement and elegance of Versailles comes through vividly in Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre’s gorgeous sonatas and trios. House of Time is joined by viola da gamba virtuoso Adam Young in a program that shines a light on works by one of the king’s favorite musicians, a child prodigy when she first moved to court. Also included is one of Rameau’s earliest masterpieces, the “Piece de clavecin en concert” in C minor, a work that treats the harpsichord and viola da gamba in dramatically inventive ways, and a suite by Jacquet de la Guerre’s colleague and friend Marin Marais. Come join House of Time and hear for yourself what made her the Queen of Parnassus!
