Sortie de printemps
Le club ira ce printemps,le samedi 20 mars, au Folger Theater de Washington, D.C. à un splendide concert dont voici la description :
With soprano Rosa Lamoreaux, baritone William Sharp, Renaissance winds, and strings
For a delightful springtime concert, the Consort performs a program of French romance and wit circa 1610. France was not untouched by the great revolution in musical taste that occurred around the beginning of the 17th century, but French music developed in very different directions than Italian Baroque. In court entertainments, dance reigned supreme, and our program includes charming dances, complemented by songs for voice and lute, in both sophisticated and rustic styles, including witty, amorous dialogues for baritone and soprano.
Le prix de la place est de $30.00 pour les étudiants.
Le club français a fêté la fin de l'année au Café Bruges de Carlisle. Tout le monde a apprécié la cuisine belge!
