La Poeme Harmonique was funded in 1998 by its conductor/director Vincente Dumestre, a specialist in baroque string instruments. In residence in Normandy, France, it’s dedicated to the interpretation of 17th– and 18th-century repertoire, which it’s taken to festivals and concert stages around the world and recorded on more than 50 releases.
When it performs at the Cleveland Museum of Art’s Gartner Auditorium, it will bring a program called Music for a Young King, which focuses on music that woul have been played in young Louis XIV’s court prior to Versailles. That includes traditional French chansons, as music by Étienne Moulinié, Michel Richard de Lalande, Marc-Antoine Charpentier, and excerpts from operas by Jean-Baptiste Lully and Francesco Cavalli.
