For the fifth year running, the Centre de musique baroque de Versailles is running a teaching programme in Brazil. Its week of baroque music in Rio has become a major event in South America.
The CMBV’s mission to disseminate French baroque music worldwide has resulted in the creation of landmark long-term projects across several continents. Since 2015, the CMBV week of baroque music in Rio has been familiarising students, young professionals and connoisseurs with its rich repertoire and with the distinctive style, language and practices of French baroque music via a series of conferences and masterclasses. With help from the French Institute, the Alliance Française, Sala Cecilia Meireles and the Lycée Français in Rio, a series of concerts is organised for a growing and increasingly enthusiastic audience. This educational venture brings in the Rio university baroque orchestra directed by noted flautist Laura Ronai with musicians from all horizons, thanks to an outreach scheme for youngsters from the favelas. This year there will be a performance of Lully’s iconic opera Atys.
