A strong woman who should not be absent from this fes­ti­val pro­gramme is Saint-Cecilia, patron saint of music. Sébastien Daucé and his unri­valled Ensemble Correspondances inter­pret two of the most beau­ti­ful works from the opu­lent Cecilia cat­a­logue: Marc-Antoine Charpentier’s dou­ble-choir ora­to­rio Caecilia Virgo et mar­tyr, and Henry Purcell’s icon­ic ode Hail! Bright Cecilia.
