Aulos Ensemble
"Joyeux Noel"
Special Monday Concert.
Usher in the holidays with one of America's leading period instrument ensembles as they present an evening of French Baroque music for the season, featuring the works of Michel Corrette, Marin Marais, Francois couperin, Louis-Claude Daquin and Jean-Philippe Rameau.
Since 1973, this ensemble has set the standard for vibrant, spirited original instrument performance. Their artistic intelligence based on informed scholaraly insight, along with an uncompromising standard of excellence, has resulted in invitations from virtually all of America's major chamber music presenters.
The Aulos Ensemble's holiday concerts at home in New York - frequently at the Metropolitan Museum of Art - are thought of by many as an essential part of holiday celebrations.
" . . . by far the most exhilarating examples of Baroque playing that these ears have heard." -- San Francisco Examiner
"If it has to be just one Christmas concert, this is it!"
