Andrew Schultze leads us on March 15 with music from the French Baroque, with plans to mark the 350th anniversary of the collaboration between two 17th century giants of the arts, composer and performer Jean-Baptiste Lully and playwright Moliere, in “Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme.” Andrew plans to provide dialogues from the play and invite recorder players to read them aloud (in English) to the accompaniment of music written by Lully specifically for this work. In his program, Andrew will also include music by Louis XIII, Jean Phillipe Rameau, Michel Corrette and other minor composers of the era.
