Formosa Baroque presents “Stunning Versailles “
\n
\nThe beginning of the 17th century was one of the most dramatic turning points in European history. People were eager for new inspirations and this was reflected in many aspects of art throughout the 17 and 18th century.
\n
In France the Sun King, Louis 14, led the fashion and established the Baroque style to the highest level with Palace de Versailles.
\n\nproject Stunning Versailles is a collaboration of well-established musicians from Le Concert Français ( founded in 1980) and young energized musicians from Formosa Baroque, led by foremost French harpsichordist Pierre Hantai. All the musicians are specialized performers on period instruments and understand the musical language of Baroque music.
\n\n\n\n
With singer Marc MAUILLON, we would like to invite you to go back in time, experience the 18th century's Europe, the glory and the beauty of Baroque masters music as it was heard 300 years ago.

Formosa Baroque
\n\nCreated with the desire to develop knowledge of Early Music in Taiwan, Formosa Baroque had its first country-wide tour in March 2016. The ensemble is comprised of young musicians originally from Asia ( Taiwan, Japan, China, Korea...), who finished their Early Music studies in some of the major music conservatories of Europe, performing on original instruments under the guidance of eminent musicians such as François Fernandez, Marc Hantai, Rainer Zipperling, François Guerrier, Marc Mauillon, Pierre Hantai….
\n
Since 2010 under the direction of Baroque flutist Yifen Chen of the Taiwan Early Music Society, the orchestra became part of projects including Chamber music tours, masterclasses, a number of workshops specifically designed for a young audience to discover the richness of the Early music repertoire, and at the same time with the wish to see its continued growth in Taiwan.
\n
After its Taiwan tour with Baroque Suites and Concertos in 2017 and a project with Mozart Quartets and baryton arias in 2018, Formosa Baroque will have its first tour abroad and is invited by the Forbidden City Early Music Festival in Beijing and the Grand Theater in Tianjin.
