This year's City of London Festival features French music, as well as celebrating the abolition of the slave trade 200 years ago. Tonight's concert from the Middle Temple Hall by Les Siecles incorporates both those themes. Works by Lully and Rameau are combined with the Violin Concerto No 2 by the Chevalier de Saint-Georges. He was the son of a black slave and a white plantation worker who became a successful violinist and composer as well as the French revolutionary army's first black colonel. Plus the first UK performance of "Streets" by Bruno Mantovani, one of France's leading composers. Stephanie-Marie Degand (violin), Les Siecles, conductor Francois-Xavier Roth
Lully Dances (Alceste)
Rameau Dances (Dardanus)
Saint-Georges Violin Concerto No 2
