Discret et distrait

Following on from their presentation in York in 2024 and their subsequent showcase in Antwerp last summer, this endearing young ensemble returns to the UK to invite you to dive into the sound world of 18th-century France with its sophisticated intermingling of Italian virtuosity, Polish folk rhythms, and pure emotionality through the genius of works by Couperin, Rameau and Telemann.
