The orchestra was created in two very different places at exactly the same time: in Rome, where the virtuoso Corelli led brilliant performances around town, and in Paris, where Lully was creating his own disciplined dance-band to play for the King’s festivities. This program celebrates the spectacular orchestral inventions of these composers and their contemporaries, in a program featuring special guest appearances by solo dancers from the BEMF Dance Ensemble.
