An educational programme with early music. A short musical portrait of the French group of Les Musiciens de Saint-Julien led by flute and musette player François Lazarevich. In early April this ensemble toured through the Netherlands on the occasion of the Seizoen Oude Muziek (Season Early Music).
This ensemble specializes in French dance songs with catchy melodies.
Their CDs mainly contain a mix of French folk and court music, all focusing on dances.
For tour data see www.oudemuziek.nl, and the website of the ensemble itself.
