Atelier Jeune Public Comment ça marche ?

Founded by Juliette Guignard and Louis-Noël Bestion de Camboulas in 2010, the Ensemble Les Surprises uses its varied and original programmes to share its passion for the music of the 17^th and 18^th centuries. The ensemble takes its name from the opera-ballet Les Surprises de l’Amour by Jean-Philippe Rameau, and this composer remains their touchstone for their explorations of opera music in all its guises. This morning’s concert is devoted to love in all its many forms – tragic, comic, light, and satirical – in famous and less well-known works by Purcell. Rhythm and passion from the grand master of British music.
