Rocky River Chamber Music Society Presents Les Délices
Les Délices is an ensemble that specializes in French Baroque music.
Rocky River Chamber Music Society presents Les Délices in the second concert of its 58th season on Monday, November 7, at 7:30 p.m. at West Shore Unitarian Universalist Church, 20401 Hilliard Blvd. in Rocky River. Founded in Cleveland in 2009 by Baroque oboist Deborah Nagy, Les Délices explores the drama and emotional resonance of long-forgotten music, especially of the French Baroque. The ensemble, composed of artists with national reputations, performs across the United States as well as locally. For its Rocky River appearance, Les Délices has entitled its program “Caractères de la Danse.” This program will explore dance from its social roots in the ballroom to the distinctive, highly expressive music written for prima ballerinas at the 17th century court of Louis XIV. The New York Times has described Les Délices concerts as “thematically concise and richly expressive…” and has characterized its concerts and recordings as “journeys of discovery.” As is true of all concerts presented by the Rocky River Chamber Music Society, there is no admission charge and all are welcome. Come and hear Early Music instruments typical of the Baroque period. For further information please call 440-333-4296, visit our website at www.rrcms.org, or follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
