Stefan Woudenberg and Alex Baker are part of the string quartet Lyrata Consort. Before touring South Korea and Japan, they perform at Dedel House.

At the court of Louis XIV, the Sun King, music was not just an entertainment, but an essential part of everyday life and the refined culture that characterized Versailles. The viola da gamba, with its rich and expressive sound, was at the center of French baroque music.

The program, entitled "Dialogues", is a tribute to the viola da gamba and the composers who brought its potential to unprecedented heights: Marin Marais, Sieur de Sainte-Colombe and Sieur De Machy. Their works give us an insight into the versatility of this instrument, which played a key role in the musical dialogues at court both as a soloist and in co-play.
