Toujours l’Amour: A Valentine from the French Baroque
Long before classical music was stodgy, it was sometimes dangerous, unpredictable and bizarre… Music of the Spheres conjured up a little of that old magic… delivered with gusto and the fluency of true improvisers. –The San Francisco Chronicle
An early Valentine of French baroque music, spinning confections for violin, harpsichord, and viola da gamba, interspersed with thoughts on love by famous French authors. The program will include favorites by such giants of the age as Marin Marais, François Couperin, and Jean-Philippe Rameau as well as less familiar works by inspired musical pioneers Jean-Marie Leclair, Jean-Féry Rebel, and Élisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre.

The Bay Area is so awash in great early music players, that when San Francisco Early Music Society decided to feature more local groups on their programming, it opened itself to more diversity than probably anyone but the local HIP community knew was out there.
