In parallel to developing his immense body of work on Baroque music, William Christie has devoted himself to the creation of a garden–now classified as a historical monument–in Thiré en Vendée, an exceptional site Of French and Italian inspiration that is now home to the academy for young singers of the Arts Florrissants, Le Jardin des voix. The six singers of this concert, all selected for the eighth edition of the international academy, present an anthology of English airs.
