A real end of year treat as we present La Gamme, the final masterpiece by the extraordinary Marin Marais.

Huw Daniel, one of the OAE’s leaders, says “I have been looking for an opportunity to perform La Gamme for a while—this is a 35-minute piece for violin, gamba and harpsichord in the form of a small opera.” The very simple plot device of a rising and falling scale provides a stage for the remarkable virtuosity and harmonic invention that marks out Marais’ music. The second set in tonight’s gig will include pieces by Rameau and Buxtehude.

Huw will be joined by Jonathan Manson (gamba) and Steven Devine (harpsichord).
