This program celebrates the fête champêtre with the musette, small French baroque bagpipes that were highly fashionable at the time, particularly in pastoral settings. Joined by baroque violin, viols, and baroque harp in a program of 17th and 18th Century French works, this is a joyous program to celebrate the start of Summer and kick off the festive season in true baroque style!
Don’t miss our exclusive performance of Fête Champêtre at Babbington Park in Lyonville, the home and farm of celebrated chef Annie Smithers. For this special performance you can enjoy the concert in Babbington Park’s beautiful, intimate timber chapel overlooking the rolling hills, and share a grazing table of Annie’s French farmhouse food along with a glass or two of bubbles. Get in quick as tickets are limited!
