Ravensong presents LE ROI DANSE

A program that brings to life the sights and sounds of Versailles under the Sun King. Performed with
historical and refined accuracy by one of the worlds preeminent dancers and an international band
of musicians.
The court of Louis XIV is widely recognized as the cradle of modern ballet. Dance was not only
celebrated by the king, but was a vital part of the culture of the time, accruing political as well as
artistic dimensions. Highly stylized in its steps and gestures, this lavishly elaborate dance mimics
the rhythmic intensity of its richly scored music. The representational power of Baroque dance runs
the gamut from portraits of mythological divinities to caricatures and comic buffoonery.

Dancer, choreographer and teacher HUBERT HAZEBROUCQ has specialized in historical dance since 1998. He is the artistic director of the Parisian company, Les Corps Eloquents, and performs regularly across Europe. His rigorous research in the history of dance has three times been awarded grants from the Centre National de la Danse in Paris. Hubert has choreographed Telemanns famous flute Fantasias (La Flûte dArlequin), starred in the BBC production The King Who Invented Ballet, and last June choreographed a show entitled Dangerous Liaisons in London with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.

STEFAN PLEWNIAK, violinist and conductor of Il Giardino dAmore, has been called the Paganini of the baroque violin and a master of emotional chemistry. With a repertoire spanning Vivaldi to Tchaikovsky and a particular specialization in the music of Poland, Plewniak has appeared with leading European Baroque Ensembles and directors, including Jordi Savall, Hysperion XXI, Giuliano Carmignola, William Christie, and Les Arts Florissants.
