Leading period-instrument ensemble Les Arts Florissants launches the Proms Chamber Music series with the first of its two Proms appearances marking 250 years since the death of Jean-Philippe Rameau. France鈥檚 leading Baroque composer, whom some have called the 鈥楩rench Bach鈥�, proved more progressive than Lully, more virtuosic than Couperin.

This lunchtime Les Arts Florissants appears on an intimate scale, performing Rameau鈥檚 only chamber music 鈥� the lively and virtuosic Pi猫ces de clavecin en concerts. With movements named after people, places and moods, each is a miniature character study, an evocative musical portrait.

There will be no interval
