About

Orquestra Barroca Casa da Música and Coro Casa da Música perform alongside one of the leading specialists in French Baroque, conductor Hervé Niquet, founder of the prestigious early music ensemble Le Concert Spirituel. In his debut at Casa da Música, he conducts a programme entirely dedicated to one of the greatest masters of French music, Marc-Antoine Charpentier, especially famous for his extensive vocal production. Written in the last decade of Charpentier's life, Missa Assumpta est Maria is considered one of his masterpieces, written for solo and choral voices and orchestral accompaniment. The famous Te Deum, which includes an extended instrumental ensemble and whose initial prelude was used as the opening theme music of the European Broadcasting Union and the Eurovision Song Contest, could not be left out.
