Italian and French Baroque composers emerge from the shadows in this program, which reveals inventive and moving music, carried by a trio of passionate virtuosos.
It goes without saying that the Baroque era in France was not the most conducive context for the emergence of female talent. However, Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre, Mademoiselle Duval, and Mademoiselle Laurant managed to bring their pens from the shadows into the light. Violinist Sophie de Bardonnèche has taken a close interest in these female composers and their peers and has set about discovering previously unknown scores. This new repertoire, enriched with works by Baroque female composers from Italy, will be performed by a trio of outstanding chamber musicians.
This concert is performed on period instruments.
Duration: 1 hour 5 minutes without intermission

Auditorium Patrick Devedjian
Nestled like a gem in a case of glass and wood, the Auditorium Patrick Devedjian is the centerpiece of our building. It can accommodate up to 1,150 spectators and is dedicated to acoustic music, featuring the greatest classical ensembles and musicians, foremost among them the resident orchestra: Insula orchestra.
Its appearance is open to interpretation: a bird's nest, a giant liner, "the ball"...
From the outside, its glass facade is protected and powered by a gigantic array of solar panels that moves in synchronization with the sun, overlooking the concrete liner.
From the inside, the 1,150-seat hall awakens our senses. Dedicated to classical music, jazz, and world music concerts, its light blonde wooden ceiling, cardboard tubes, and paper reveal all the secrets of the excellent acoustics of this stage.
Its Acoustics
Studied by the Nagata and Jean-Paul Lamoureux firm to ensure the best possible sound reproduction for the audience. All precautions have been taken to guarantee exceptional acoustics with the precision of a musical instrument.
Its Design
Modular, its vineyard-style arrangement creates a genuine proximity with the audience surrounding the artists. The interplay of lights, the beauty of materials (wood, mosaics, glass), and the 360° panorama are all designed to match the pleasure of the eyes with that of the ears.
Its design aims to create a sense of visual and acoustic intimacy shared between the audience and the musicians. The atmosphere of the hall is warm, with curved wooden walls and ceiling contributing to the hall’s unique sound identity. Access to the hall is provided on three levels by large suspended walkways offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. These are connected by large staircases forming a continuous promenade around the hall.
