French Baroque Music and Chocolate – January 31, 2021 LiveEvents January 26, 2021 804 Sweet! French Baroque Music and Chocolate L’Ensemble Caprice The moment cocoa arrived for the first time in Europe from South America, it became all the rage! Spanish chocolatiers quickly proved themselves to be the masters in art of processing that bitter bean into a much sought-after delicacy. Even Versailles succumbed to the charm of the delicious flavour of chocolate. This concert will tell how chocolate journeyed to Europe from the New World to become a true success story. Artists Matthias Maute and Sophie Larivière (flutes) Susie Napper (baroque cello) David Jacques (baroque guitar) Patrick Graham (percussion) Since it was founded by flautist Matthias Maute three decades ago, Ensemble Caprice has made its mark as one of the most sought-after ensembles on the classical music scene. Caprice has gained a solid reputation for its innovative programming and vibrant, compelling performances.
