The event is open to the public, free of charge. Directed by George Torres, the Ensemble will perform instrumental and vocal airs by Lully, Gautier, Monteclair and Jacquet de la Guerre. The ensemble specializes in the performance of 17th-century French music and the repertoire consists of collections of instrumental music dance suites for mixed ensembles as well as vocal selections from the repertoire of airs de cour . Each semester, the music department organizes one or more special productions involving the preparation and performance of significant musical works. The productions are planned to take into account students with special talents in instrumental music and are part of an innovative ensemble program that provides performance opportunities for St. Lawrence students and other members of the community.
Membership is by audition.
