Ensemble Temenos presents a program drawn from Arcangelo Corelli’s first four Opuses of Sonate a tre, tracing the emergence of the trio sonata and its two principal genres, da chiesa and da camera.

Performed with period sensitivity, the ensemble favours architectural resonance and rhythmic drive, offering an intimate, luminous sound world.

A prelude DJ set by Camille Rhonat opens the evening, framing the transition from ambient textures to focused piano minimalism.
