About l'Académie:
L’Académie is a Baroque orchestra specializing in music from 17th- and 18th-century France with an emphasis on lesser-known works and composers. Founded in Boston in early 2009, the organization provides opportunities to Boston-area musicians to collaborate and audiences to connect with compelling programs of early music.
