An ungrateful instrument: Orchestral Series 3
About
~ To book, click a highlighted date then click 'select' ~‘An ungrateful instrument’ is the title of award- winning Adelaide author, Michael Meehan’s latest book. It is a novel about the struggle between Baroque musicians Antoine Forqueray and his son Jean- Baptiste, perhaps the greatest instrumentalists of their day and both in their times child prodigies to the court of Louis XIV.
We take the music of those two protagonists and the court of Louis XIV, one of the richest epochs of French music, with selections from Lully, Couperin, Charpentier and Marais to illuminate readings from the book by Michael.
Set in the art deco interior of Burnside Ballroom, graphic visual artist Dave Court will produce a series of dramatic and interactive projections, bringing a third creative vision to the project.
