South Florida Classical Review » » Seraphic Fire makes a fascinating journey into the French Baroque 03/11/2023

Having a great time playing as concertmaster with Seraphic Fire this week! It’s a wonderful program of French Baroque music: Mondonville’s Dominus Regnavit and selections from Rameaus’s Castor et Pollux, including the prologue from the first version of 1737. Playing this music with such wonderful colleagues has been truly rewarding! Looking forward to playing three more concerts in Florida this week!
“Throughout the evening, the orchestral playing was outstanding” - South Florida Classical Review

South Florida Classical Review » » Seraphic Fire makes a fascinating journey into the French Baroque Music of the French Baroque is too rarely heard on this side of the pond. Rhythmically and harmonically adventurous for its era, these Gallic scores differ greatly from the works of their Italian and German counterparts.
