The Sebastians present The 24 Violins Cross the Alps on Saturday, May 11, at 5PM at The Sanctuary of Brick Presbyterian Church. The renowned early music ensemble has been widely celebrated for its thoughtful programming and innovative interpretations, and this concert explores the resonances of Jean-Baptiste Lully’s famed orchestra, Les Vingt-quatre Violons du Roy (The 24 Violins of the King).

The opulent Vingt-quatre was one of the most prestigious ensembles in 17th-century Europe, known for its uncommon rigor and unified style. In this 80-minute program, presented without intermission, the Sebastians resurrect their own version of Lully’s renowned ensemble to explore the interconnections between French, Italian, and German Baroque music through the works of Jean-Baptiste Lully, Arcangelo Corelli and Georg Muffat.
