The opening concert of the festival will be a celebration of French baroque with François Couperin's (1668–1733) "Le Grand" and BRQ musicians. The concert will open with a chamber sonata from the Concerts Royaux series – composed for the court of the Sun King, which, despite its name, consists of dance suites composed for unspecified chamber ensembles, which, despite their form, were intended to be listened to and not danced to. The other works in the concert are the Dixieme Concert, which will be performed as a solo oboe version, and La Piémontoise from the Les Nations collection. Couperin's music has the splendour and elegance of the Sun King's court, but also the tenderness of the recorder.
