ensemble Moliere: Telemann and his Friends in Paris

In 1737, Telemann travelled to Paris where he met with the top French musicians of the day - including Blavet, Guinon, and Forqueray. They performed 12 sets of "Paris Quartets" together - with Telemann on the harpsichord!

Formed at the Dartington Summer School in 2013, Ensemble Moliere has already played widely throughout the UK and Europe. In 2015 the ensemble was selected for the Early Music Live! scheme at the Brighton Early Music Festival, and performed at this year's London Baroque Festival.
