IMAGO MUNDI 

In Greek mythology, the Acheron is the river of the Underworld on which Charon ferries the souls of the Dead to Hell, the very river Orpheus crosses to look for Eurydice. Nourished by this symbol, l’Acheron – Consort de Violes de Gambe is willing to open up a way in-between two apparently opposed worlds: living and dead, past and present, imagination and reality.

Tonight’s programme, Imago Mundi, is a journey taking us from late Renaissance to the early Baroque period that unveils the profound influence of Italian music in Europe. Through a wide range of musical forms of the time, such as the Canzona, Fantasia, Sonata, Dances and Durezze we will discover the great versatility of the consort repertoire.

Already invited to play in several festivals in France and Europe, L'Achéron is made up of a young generation attempting to bring forth its fundamental characteristics, reinterpreting original works and instruments with the greatest respect, though remaining as authentic and as accessible as possible to today’s audience. The blending of musicological and organological researches and the understanding of the artistic message feeding the intellectual, sensorial and spiritual curiosities of the audience.
