DESCRIPTION:Newly founded in 2024 by early music specialists Hayk Arsenyan and Christopher Preston Thompson, NYC-based Ensemble Rhétorique Musicale brings the art of rhetoric – musical and textual – to life in vocal and instrumental music from across the last millennium. After meeting in graduate school and enjoying two decades of friendship, Hayk and Christopher teamed up to bring their individual expertise together for joyful chamber music making, harnessing their mutual abilities to champion a wide variety of repertoire. Hayk (concert pianist and historical keyboard specialist) performs internationally a body of repertoire that spans the earliest of keyboard works to the most modern and experimental compositions. Christopher (tenor, historical harpist, and musicologist) performs early and new music across the country, with a focus on medieval song reconstruction and art song repertoire. Together, E.R.M. crafts programs that showcase a millennium of music history and centuries of chamber music    On May 20th, E.R.M. brings their program, entitled A Thousand Years of French Music, to Lehman college. The program showcases poetic and musical trends that have rippled through ten centuries of French song and instrumental music, from the 11th-century Alba de Fleury-sur-Loire, through trouvère song, Renaissance airs de cour, and works by Jean-Philippe Rameau, Louis Couperin, Pauline Duchamge, W.A. Mozart, Gabriel Fauré, Jules Massenet, Claude Debussy, Frederic Chopin, Lili Boulanger, Edith Piaf, and living French composers.98723 "Music Department", "concert", "recital", "free", "Ensemble Rhetorique Musicale", "music", "French"
