What to expect
About this event
Let 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.
The 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.
Composers 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.
Tickets range from €3 to €6. For the exact breakdown of prices, check with the Cité de la Musique et de la Danse.
