and its executive producer ERDA,, Insula orchestra Baroque without borders Jeanine De Bique, the Trinidadian soprano acclaimed at the Opéra de Paris in major baroque roles - from Alcina to Susanna -, ventures into a programme as bold as it is unprecedented: bringing great opera arias by Handel and Rameau into dialogue with traditional Caribbean music, wedding songs, dance tunes and island percussions.

A round trip between two shores of the Atlantic, between baroque Europe and 18th-century the Caribbean, revealing unexpected movements between these two worlds.

Alongside her, Apollo's Fire - one of America's most renowned baroque ensembles, founded by harpsichordist Jeannette Sorrell - makes its debut at La Seine Musicale.
