‘Music of the Versailles Palace’ reflects the grandeur of the world-famous royal residence and the wonder of the pieces by foremost French baroque composers. Cem Duruöz, a sought-after guitarist regularly invited to many important music centres, John Dornenburg a brilliant gamba player, and harpsichordist Yuko Tanaka merge the sounds of the period to carry the audience from the small, beautiful Yıldız Palace Theatre to the magnificent Versailles.
