Programme
Overview
Join Swiss vocal ensemble Voces Suaves and period-instrument ensemble Ad Fontes for an evocative baroque programme featuring Carissimi's tragic Jephte and Charpentier's chamber opera Les arts florissants. Critics hail this performance as vividly animated, heartbroken and mournful, promising a night of sacred drama and elegant storytelling.Swiss vocal ensemble Voces Suaves and period-instrument ensemble Ad Fontes unite for an evocative baroque programme featuring Giacomo Carissimi's haunting oratorio Jephte and Marc-Antoine Charpentier's chamber opera Les arts florissants. In Jephte, a father's solemn vow triggers a tragic narrative, unfolding through expressive solo recitatives, resonant choral passages and mournful continuo lines. Charpentier's Les arts florissants celebrates the flourishing of the arts with graceful arias and lilting dances set against an idealised pastoral backdrop. Under sensitive direction, the ensemble's pure vocal blend melds seamlessly with the authentic timbres of baroque violin, viola da gamba, wooden flute, cello and harpsichord, enveloping the hall in warm, vibrant harmonies. Critics praise this collaboration as vividly animated, heartbroken and mournful, offering an immersive evening of sacred history and refined allegory.
