CHOIR AND ORCHESTRA OF THE MUSIC ACADEMY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ZAGREB
HERVÉ NIQUET, conductor
 
MUSIC FROM FRENCH COURTS
 
François Francœur: Symphonie du Festin Royal de Monseigneur le Comte d'Artois, selection
J. P. Rameau: Hippolyte et Aricie, selection
***
M. A. Charpentier: Te Deum, H. 146
 
The programme titled Music from the French Courts will be the first time that frequent Zagreb guest, renowned conductor and harpsichordist Hervé Niquet will appear at the helm of the Orchestra, Choir, and soloists of the Academy of Music, University of Zagreb.
In April 2025, students of the Academy of Music staged the opera Hippolyte and Aricie by Jean-Philippe Rameau at their Academy, and this concert will deepen their knowledge and introduce the audience to the specificities of the French Baroque style. Maestro Niquet will pass on to them his first-hand secrets of a historically informed approach.
 
The program mainly features sacral works that often evoke courtly opulence through lavish instrumentation and, for that time, large vocal forces.
