Ulysse et les Sirènes - Ambronay Festival (2025) - Ulysse et les Sirènes - Festival d'Ambronay (2025)

Description

Works by Henry Purcell, Alessandro Scarlatti, Georg Friedrich Händel, Thomas-Louis Bourgeois, Teresa Agnesi, Jean-François Dandrieu…

Bewitching, seductive, or angels of death, sirens have never ceased to fascinate and fuel the imaginations of artists. Only Ulysses could resist them. How did composers capture these creatures? What musical imagination was born from these legendary beings? Led by harpsichordist Marie van Rhijn, L'Assemblée explores a musical territory between land and water, always striving to restore a prominent place to talented, forgotten composers.
