SUMMARY:ENSEMBLE HÉMIOLIA
DESCRIPTION:Ensemble Hémiolia gives a Baroque concert themed around the Tiber, with composers such as Handel, Montéclair and Bononcini, on Friday 4 December 2026 at 8 pm at the Cité de la Musique et de la Danse in Soissons, €3 to €6.\nLet me take you to Soissons, to the Cité de la Musique et de la Danse, the town's music and dance centre on allée Claude Debussy, on Friday 4 December 2026 at 8 pm, for a concert by Ensemble Hémiolia.\n\nThe thread running through the programme is the Tiber, the river of Rome. Since Antiquity its banks have been associated with violence, from assassinations to crimes and conspiracies. According to the concert's presentation, this dark atmosphere lasted into the Baroque era, right into the aristocratic palaces where intrigue sat side by side with music and the arts.\n\nComposers of the period, such as Handel, Montéclair and Bononcini, drew on these bloody dramas and on the fascination with death in their cantatas and vocal works. The ensemble sets out to explore a Tiber full of mysteries and secrets. The exact works and the line-up of the ensemble are not given in the announcement.\n\nTickets range from €3 to €6. For the exact breakdown of prices, check with the Cité de la Musique et de la Danse.\nFriday 4 December 2026, 8 pm. Cité de la Musique et de la Danse, 9 allée Claude Debussy, 02200 Soissons. Prices: €3 to €6. Programme: Baroque cantatas and vocal works around the Tiber (Handel, Montéclair, Bononcini).\nFair warning: this programme packs in more plots and intrigue than a whole season of a Sunday night crime drama. I recommend this concert if you like your Baroque music with a bit of bite. And I suggest keeping your own secrets until after the concert, you never know who might be listening.\nEnsemble Hémiolia in Soissons: Baroque concert, 4 December\nEnsemble Hémiolia on 4 Dec 2026 at 8 pm at the Cité de la Musique et de la Danse, Soissons: the Tiber in Baroque music, Handel, Montéclair, Bononcini, €3 to €6.\nWhen does Ensemble Hémiolia play in Soissons?\nOn Friday 4 December 2026 at 8 pm.\nWhere is the concert?\nAt the Cité de la Musique et de la Danse, 9 allée Claude Debussy, Soissons.\nWhat is on the programme?\nBaroque cantatas and vocal works inspired by the Tiber and its dramas, by composers such as Handel, Montéclair and Bononcini.\nHow much are tickets?\nFrom €3 to €6.
