About Antiquité Moderne
Antiquité Moderne is a chamber ensemble made up of musicians primarily from the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. The group performs all types of chamber music but concentrates on that of the 17th century and late 20th century. Although the two styles of music are extremely different on the surface, each is composed in such a manner as to give certain freedoms to the individual performer, making the two periods very similar on some ways. Together, they make for a diverse match that delivers a fulfilling evening of music making and listening.
