Les Plaisirs
The Pleasures
Staged live at Holy Trinity Church, Rotherhithe, SE16 5HF
Our first programme celebrates the airs of Michel Lambert (1610 – 1696) and Marc-Antoine Charpentier (1643-1704), and the music written by their contemporaries for the viol, culminating in a rare performance of Charpentier's Les Plaisirs de Versailles (The Pleasures of Versailles).
As ever, a bar selling wine, soft drinks and Holy Trinity's famous home-infused gins will be open from 7pm.
This concert will finish at 9:20pm.
