In Vive la France!, Festival Choir embarks on a journey in the larger legacy of French music, exploring more than two centuries of stylistic evolution: from the Baroque elegance of Lully and Rameau, through the Romantic sentiment of Massenet, to the lyrical modernism of Lili Boulanger. This program in the 250th year since the American Revolution also honors France’s long heritage as both an ally to the United States and a culture of rich artistry. Vive la France!
