HEAR some of Louis XIV's musical playlist at a museum concert on Wednesday February 15 at Dorset County Museum in Dorchester.
The concert, beginning at 7.30pm, will be given by the Bach Players.
They are performing a programme called Pour le Souper du Roy which paints a musical picture of the chamber music presented to Louis XIV by his favourite composers.
Composers who were allowed into the inner circle of the king were given the title Musicien pour la Chambre du Roy and their tasks included providing music for the king in his private rooms.
Some of the best chamber music of the period was written for these occasions. See thebachplayers.org.uk for more information.
Call 01305 262735 for tickets.
