Tres Maresienne, a baroque trio, will open the 24th season of the Louise McKeon Chamber Music Series at the Keeler Tavern Museum, 132 Main Street, Ridgefield, CT on Sunday, September 21, at 3 p.m. The musicians will play in the classic Garden House overlooking the extraordinary brick walled garden alive with fall color.
Lisa Brooke, violin, Carol Lewis, viola de gamba, and Olav Chris Henriksen, theorbo and baroque guitar, will present a program of baroque compositions written in the 17th century for the court of Louis 14th of France. Performing both in Paris and at the Palace of Versailles, the kings musicians were well acquainted with each other and other servants of the court, as well as with courtiers. Many pieces were dedicated to colleagues often for financial gain, but also at times as a gesture of respect. The theme of Tres Maresienne’s concert is this network of composers and their dedicatees.
Following the concert, guests will be invited to meet the musicians and enjoy light refreshments.
Entrance at the door: adults $15, seniors and students $12, children under twelve years $10 info@keelertavernmuseum.org.
