Coming November 28 : Bach’s early cantatas !
This is the first recording venture into the world of Bach for Correspondances, which brings to life the composer’s first sacred cantatas – BWV 4, 106, and 131 – written in Mühlhausen. Ingeniously blending Lutheran tradition and Italian influence, these works already reveal the dramatic inventiveness and formal rigor of a creator in full swing…

The Ladies’ secret concert in Chambéry !
Correspondances will be in Chambéry for a performance of Le Concert Secret des Dames (The Ladies’ secret concert) on November 15 at 6 p.m. This program invites you to discover the musical world of the Ladies of Ferrara, three virtuoso singers and musicians who shook up the European music scene at the end of the 16th century.
Their mastery of counterpoint, ornamentation, and improvisation made them exceptional artists, quickly becoming a social phenomenon of immense renown. Adding to this glory, a mystery surrounds these ladies, whose music was jealously guarded by the Duke of Ferrara, who forbade its publication. The intimate nature of these concerts, which the duke reserved for a selected Italian and European elite, contributed greatly to the reputation of the musical court of Ferrara and lasted throughout the 17th century.

« The musicians’ complicity is evident from the opening notes, with a rich sound that takes on infinite nuances throughout the evening. The orchestra’s beautiful energy highlights the precision of the rhythmic work and the artistry of the atmospheres. » – Forum Opera
« Under the direction of Sébastien Daucé, the Ensemble Correspondances delicately supports the vocal richness. The cohesion is total: the musicians accompany and breathe with the singers, while enhancing the theatricality specific to Baroque music. The conductor brings out emotions with a finesse of color and a sense of instrumental phrasing that matches the text. » – Olyrix
« This choral fresco is as impressive for its density as for the dedication of its performers, offering a reinvented coronation of Louis XIV, at the crossroads of theater and ritual. » – Olyrix
« Sébastien Daucé’s understated conducting brings to life the harmony between the musicians and singers. Serenity prevails over tragedy, with an emphasis on dialogue and communication between the performers and conductor, between the musicians and singers, and between the Correspondances ensemble and the audience. » – Forum Opera

Fondation Correspondances
In order to serve the independence and excellence of its work, Correspondances has created the Fondation Correspondances, with the aim of restoring the musical repertoire inherited from the century of the Sun King.
