The Theater of Music is a baroque music ensemble created by recorder player Marion Fermé.
In the 17th century, at the time of Henry Purcell, a wide variety of musical styles coexisted in London. Musical theater was born in England.

"An Evening at the Theatre" explores the lesser-known repertoire of 17th century England with concerts, CD recordings,  residencies, and chamber performances in England and France. 
The CD “An Evening at the Theatre”  is distributed by the Ramée/Outhere label and has been enthusiastically received by the international press. It was broadcast in 2022 on France Musique, RAI 3, Radio Berlin Brandenburg.

In addition to a tasteful technical playing refinement, the musicians around recorder player Marion Fermé bring an enormous joy of playing to this music, a joy that is being transmitted and has given us a real pleasure while listening to this production.

​

But by alternating the flute instruments and cleverly chosen percussion elements, the small combo actually seems larger and more diverse than it actually is. This is thus sometimes charming, sometimes funny, sometimes rousing, sometimes quietly contemplative, but throughout enjoyable and entertaining.

This is a particularly attractive edition, filled with music that has long been forgotten, which imaginatively brings us back in terms of atmosphere to the flourishing theater life in the England of Elizabeth I and James I. The sung texts are printed in the booklet.

"An accomplished art of chamber music ... a musicality of exceptional quality".

Article published in the Tribune

 

“A positive dynamic, a remarkable team spirit – that is what is clear when listening to this ensemble…. I invited them to participate in the festival on account of their remarkable sonorous appeal; they are by turns agile and sweet, as the music demands.”

  Gaël de KERRET, Artistic Director, Valloire Baroque festival
