La claveciniste Maude Gratton, cheffe et directrice artistique d’il Convito, est une artiste habituée des grands ensembles baroques (Collegium Vocale de Gand, Le Banquet Céleste, Ricercar Consort…). Cette musicienne sensible a fait de la musique de Jean-Sébastien Bach (1685-1750) la pierre angulaire de son ensemble. Au coeur de ce nouveau programme figurent deux chefs-d’œuvre du cantor de Leipzig : le cinquième Concerto Brandebourgeois et la première Suite pour orchestre. Trait d’union entre ces deux monuments, l’ensemble présente une orchestration de quelques-uns des plus beaux chorals pour grand orgue du compositeur allemand.

At the heart of this new program are two masterpieces by the cantor of Leipzig: the fifth Brandenburg Concerto and the first Suite for orchestra . A link between these two monuments, the ensemble presents an orchestration of some of the most beautiful chorales for the great organ by the German composer.
