Delicate, radiant, and steeped in introspection, the French Baroque speaks in whispers rather than shouts. Elegy for a Dying Sun features François Couperin’s Leçons de ténèbres, a masterpiece of sacred intensity, written for the quiet hours before dawn. Alongside this profound work, chamber music for two sopranos and flutes is balanced by the deeper sonority of theorbo, cellos, harpsichord and organ.Saturday, January 24, 7:30 PM Cathedral Church of St. Mark
