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.

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.
