On the eve of a vigorous eightieth birthday, the most French of American musicians has chosen the Musée de la musique to assemble a host of young artists who are dear to him: William Christie has watched over their budding skills, and they have already become masters! This programme celebrates the composers he has so passionately championed and, in some cases, brought back to life. Happy birthday, Bill!
