Cultural Season: Extraordinary concert by Maurice Steger

As part of the Champittet The last concert of our Cultural Season paid tribute to Mr Händel's Dinner. The extraordinary Swiss recorder player and musical director Maurice Steger, accompanied by the baroque ensemble La Cetra, brought back to life the lively atmosphere of these sumptuous banquets, accompanied by the frenziest baroque music.  

Maurice Steger, a great collector, always travels with a case of flutes, allowing him to vary the sounds. The surprise effect is total and dazzling! 

"Seeing Maurice Steger on stage is like living a marathon. You breathe with him, you sweat with him. He dances, his recorder twirls, he wets his shirt to the point of having to change at intermission. He doesn't hesitate to strike theatrical poses to convey the expressiveness behind the baroque music...". Julian Sykes, music critic for the newspaper Le Temps.
