Barefoot Chamber Concerts presents Hallifax & Jeffrey (Peter Hallifax and Julie Jeffrey, viols) with Andrew Canepa (harpsichord) in "Infinite Geste" a program of dramatic music from the 18th century French court.
The program explores the musical legacy of Marin Marais, the court's director of chamber music. Marais also wrote operas, and even his chamber music is full of the programmatic wildness and gestural abandon that characterizes later French dramatic music. The program also includes parts of a rare arrangement of a Rameau opera for two viols and continuo, and other highly flavored delicacies from the court.
