A concert of Le Poème Harmonique

Formed in 1998, Le Poème Harmonique is a group of soloists, gathered around its artistic director Vincent Dumestre. Its artistic activity, centred on vocal and instrumental music of the seventeenth and early eighteenth century, is regularly enriched by interaction with other disciplines. This, together with real teamwork — working as a company — is Le Poème Harmonique’s hallmark in Baroque performance today.

The ensemble’s recent stage projects have included the first performances of Pagliardi’s Caligula, in September 2011 at the International Puppet Festival in Charleville-Mézières, and of Cavalli’s Egisto, in February 2012 at the Opéra-Comique in Paris, then at the Opéra de Rouen Haute-Normandie. Also, in 2013−2014, as part of its residency there, Le Poème Harmonique will be presenting Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas at Opéra de Rouen. In 2014−2015, again with the Opéra -Comique and Opéra de Rouen, the ensemble will be performing Le Malade imaginaire, the play by Molière, with music by Charpentier.

Actors, dancers, circus artists and puppeteers join singers and musicians in programmes. Le Poème Harmonique studies in depth the correspondences between ‘period’ aesthetics – use of candles for lighting, pantomime and painted sets and machinery – and the aesthetics of modern stage productions. And Baroque Carnival, a precious component of the Diaghilev Festival 2014, is not an exception.
