SUMMARY:WILLIAM CHRISTIE-THÉOTIME LANGLOIS DE SWARTE
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday 17 December 2026 at 8pm, William Christie and Théotime Langlois de Swarte perform "Le Violon de Rameau" at the Cité de la Musique et de la Danse in Soissons, with tickets from 5 to 20 euros.\nI am inviting you to the Cité de la Musique et de la Danse in Soissons on Thursday 17 December 2026 at 8pm, for a concert entitled "Le Violon de Rameau".\n\nThe starting point is a portrait of Jean-Philippe Rameau depicting him as a violinist. The programme explores this little-known side of his world, from his youth to his breakthrough with Hippolyte et Aricie. The source describes it as a kind of investigation, illustrated by transcriptions of opera airs, extracts from dance suites and sonatas by his contemporaries: Jacques Aubert, Louis Aubert, Toussaint Bordet, Charles Antoine Branche, Jean-Baptiste Cupis, Antoine Dauvergne and André Joseph Exaudet.\n\nOn stage, Théotime Langlois de Swarte plays the violin and William Christie the harpsichord and organ. Part of this programme was recorded by the two musicians on the historic organ of the abbey of Saint-Michel-en-Thiérache, in the Aisne.\n\nTickets range from 5 to 20 euros. The Cité de la Musique et de la Danse is at Parc Gouraud, 9 allée Claude Debussy, in Soissons. For tickets and information: 03 23 59 10 12 or cmd@agglo-soissonnais.com.\n\nI like the idea of approaching Rameau through the violin, with composers of his time who are rarely heard.\nDate: Thursday 17 December 2026 at 8pm. Venue: Cité de la Musique et de la Danse, Parc Gouraud, 9 allée Claude Debussy, 02200 Soissons. Prices: 5 to 20 euros. Information: 03 23 59 10 12, cmd@agglo-soissonnais.com.\nI confess I always pictured Rameau bent over a keyboard, not with a violin under his chin. This concert starts from a portrait showing him as a violinist, and William Christie, on harpsichord and organ, leads the investigation alongside Théotime Langlois de Swarte's violin. I suggest calling the Cité on 03 23 59 10 12.\nWilliam Christie and Langlois de Swarte in Soissons, Dec.\nWilliam Christie-Théotime Langlois de Swarte: Le Violon de Rameau on 17 December 2026 at 8pm, Cité de la Musique, Soissons.
