Red Dot Baroque Presents “The Tastes Reunited”

6 November 2024 7:30pm

Conservatory Concert Hall
Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music, 3 Conservatory Drive

In 1724, François Couperin coined the term “Les Goûts-réunis”, or “The Tastes Reunited”, where he argued that the perfect music comes from a unification of both the dramatic Italian style and the elegant French style. 300 years later, Ensemble-in-Residence Red Dot Baroque celebrates this harmony of influences with a programme of music from Baroque France that marries the best of both worlds. Blavet’s Flute Concerto and Leclair’s Violin Concerto contain flashy virtuosic writing alongside a sense of elegant restraint, while the timeless operatic music of Rameau prevails with a selection of arias and dances from his famous opera, Hippolyte et Aricie.
