It's good to be king. Back in the day, let's say, the 17th century, the king of France could beckon the greatest composer of his day, Francois Couperin, and have wonderful ditties and concert pieces written for his royal pleasure. Much of that music survived, and these days is performed for the hoi polloi, as will be the case for these concerts by the superb homegrown baroque ensemble Tempesta di Mare. Virtuoso viola de gamba player Sarah Cunningham will be a guest artist.
