Melbourne Baroque Orchestra: Lully and De Lalande at Versailles
10 October @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm AEDT

Directed by the much-acclaimed Michael Fulcher, MBO and PV will present two astonishingly beautiful and rarely heard motets created by Jean-Baptiste Lully and Michel-Richard De Lalande for the great occasions of court life at Versailles. The orchestra, bursting with the exquisite sonorities of winds, violas (six of them), gamba, and many lutes (Nick Pollock is bringing along a bevy of his students to join in!), will be led by Tim Willis violin, while oboist Adam Masters will head the glorious wind section of no less than six bassoons plus oboes.
