Alongside the symphony, the string quartet and the keyboard sonata, the trio for  violin, cello and keyboard remains one of the major genres of classicism. Derived not  so much from the baroque trio sonata, but rather from the "harpsichord pieces that  can be played with the accompaniment of a violin and a viola da gamba" in  which the French masters gave pride of place to the keyboard, the classical trio  will gradually establish the perfect balance between the three partners, each  deploying material corresponding to his own technique, but in total  complicity.

Harpsichord in concert: Classical trios

Salle Bourgie

Swinging London meets Italian flair, 18th century style. AAM presents Georgian England in the company of Arne, Boyce, Geminiani and Bach. But not the Bach you’re expecting…
The music scene in 18th century Britain was a place where everything was up for grabs. A nation was remaking its identity – embracing global fashions and diverse cultures, and locked in passionate debate about its relationship with Europe. English composers wrote Italian operas, the spirit of Shakespeare met the inspiration of Corelli and Vivaldi, and Bach’s youngest son carved out a musical niche that was entirely his own.
