An early evening devoted to European virtuosity in the Age of Enlightenment. The Italian violinist Rebecca Raimondi joins the

Orquestra Barroca to perform a concerto by an extraordinary figure: Joseph Bologne, one of the first musicians of

African descent to achieve success on the European continent, but also a fencing master and an officer of the French

Revolution. The conductor Laurence Cummings will be soloist in a harpsichord concerto by Guilhermina da Prússia, sister of Frederico

o Grande and herself a composer of merit. We also hear the suite from Rameau's last opera, Les Boréades, and two central names

of eighteenth-century Lisbon, Carlos Seixas and Pedro Jorge Avondano, ending with a great symbol of the music of the

Enlightenment, Mozart, with the symphony he wrote at the age of eight.
