23rd International Festival “Ars vivendi clavicembalum” – “Elisabeth Jacquette de la Guerre – A voice that lasts”

In the world of Louis XIV, there was also a place for an extraordinary artist – a woman who captivated the royal court as a young girl and subsequently forged her own path as a harpsichordist, improviser, and composer. Her name is Élisabeth-Claude Jacquet de La Guerre. Her pieces will be presented at a concert in the SANU Gallery on Monday, November 2, at 8:00 PM, featuring Jovana Topalov (harpsichord), Ana Cvetković Stojnić (soprano), Katarina Aleksić (violin), and Karolina Beter (traverso flute).
We are organizing the concert with the support of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts.
