“This is an unusual concert in that it features French Baroque music, which is not often performed,” Redfield says. “It requires antique instruments because its musical expression doesn’t translate well to modern instruments. The other unusual part is that we feature four female composers from the court of King Louis XIV.”—Stephen Redfield, violin and leader
