Versailles is remembered for its court, its atmosphere, its music, and its splendor which defined a monument with an incomparably rich history. The works associated with the palace have travelled down the centuries, and today represent a precious part of the Western music tradition.

Le Poeme Harmonique, Cafe Zimmermann, Capriccio Stravagante, and many others invite themselves into the company of Jean-Baptiste Lully, Marc-Antoine Charpentier, and Jean-Henry d'Anglebert and share with us for a few hours the sumptuous concerts that made Versailles a place like no other.
