Full Event Details
Marc-Antoine Charpentier’s Leçons for the Wednesday of Holy Week, intensely personal responses to the Lamentations of Jeremiah, capture the intense drama and pathos of the nocturnal service of Tenebrae. William Christie and Les Arts Florissants bring insights gained over decades of performance and reflection to Charpentier’s intimate, profoundly expressive works.
