Théotime Langlois de Swarte violin
Hanna Salzenstein cello
Yoann Moulin harpsichord

Join three rising stars of the baroque in a special late-night candlelit concert, in an exhilarating exploration of the music of Vivaldi and Vitali.

Italy is the setting for an evocative journey led by violinist Théotime Langlois de Swarte. Born from the twilight of the seventeenth century and maturing in the early eighteenth century, this golden age of music witnessed the violin emerge as a central expressive force in Western art music. And it is to this luminous era that Théotime invites us – through the works of composers both celebrated and forgotten, revolutionary and refined.

Still under 30 years old, Théotime has established himself as one of the leading figures in Baroque violin performance. Internationally acclaimed for the subtlety of his phrasing, his imaginative articulation, and the originality of his programming, he brings freshness to repertoire that, in lesser hands, risks becoming predictable. His approach is both scholarly and expressive, deeply rooted in historical performance practice yet unafraid of spontaneity. For this programme, he is joined by cellist Hanna Salzenstein and harpsichordist Yoann Moulin, forming a trio that embodies the very spirit of early eighteenth-century chamber music.

Please note there is a £1.50 administration fee per transaction
