Harpsicord and Flute with Tom Foster and Georgia Browne 'A Goods Shed 2024-25 Classical Series concert'

Baroque flautist Georgia Browne and harpsichordist Tom Foster take an indulgent musical excursion through the palace and gardens of Versailles.

Centred around the music performed at musical gatherings for Kings Louis XIV and XV, this programme of three vignettes offers a glimpse into the rarefied life of music at the French court in the early eighteenth century.

The three musical sets have been created to replicate the use of the dance suite as a manner of grouping together shorter pieces of music. The “Palace” set takes us to the heart of refined nobility with a suite of courtly dances. “Portrait” is a stroll through a picture gallery containing musical depictions of characters known at court. The “Pastorale” set finds us at a fête champêtre – an extravagant garden party where we chance upon peasants dancing, birds singing and the west wind blowing.
