Walt Disney Concert Hall (Los Angeles, CA)
The Walt Disney Concert Hall — with its state-of-art acoustics and stunningly modern, Frank Gehry-designed metal facade — turns back the clock for this concert of French Baroque airs de cour by renowned vocal and instrumental ensemble Les Arts Florissants. These masters of period-appropriate instruments, including the viola da gamba (a cross between a violin and a cello), the harpsichord and the theorbo (imagine a lute of near-mythic proportions), are largely credited with the resurgence of interest in European music of the 17th and 18th centuries. Experience the Walt Disney Concert Hall debut of this astounding French ensemble, who’ll perform polyphonic duo and trio compositions by the likes of François Couperin, Michel Lambert and Marc-Antoine Charpentier.
