Hail! Bright Cecilia

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.
