THIS EVENT HAS ALREADY OCCURED IN A PREVIOUS SEASON! Charles Tessier (fl. c. 1600) may not be a common household name, but this prolific French composer had an enormous impact on music of his time. He held positions on various royal courts, wrote in many international styles, and was widely admired. (Even the renowned John Dowland borrowed from him.) The outstanding ensemble Le Poème Harmonique, a champion of innovative and brilliant composers of the early 17th century, travels through Tessier’s itinerant career in Europe. The American Academy of Arts & Letters, which may be New York’s greatest and most beautiful space for music, is the fitting host to this magnificent performance.
