In Partnership with the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society-PCMS

Following his 2019 debut concert in Philadelphia, harpsichordist Jean Rondeau returns to the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society with his French colleagues in Nevermind, an ensemble that expands the artistic possibilities of period-instrument performance. They are imbuing the Baroque quartet repertoire (flute, violin, viola da gamba, and harpsichord) with a thoroughly engaging mix of virtuoso expertise and unpretentious charm, all of which will be on display in their arrangement of Bach’s famous Goldberg Variations.

Bach: Goldberg Variations, BWV 988

Nevermind A French Ensemble

The love and passion of ancient repertoire and music from all horizons led Anna Besson, Louis Creac'h, Robin Pharo and Jean Rondeau to create Nevermind in 2013. Together, their mission is to share the works they love with a wide and varied audience, championing and transcending the quartet repertoire (flute, violin, viola da gamba and harpsichord) of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Nevermind’s numerous concerts have only reinforced their conviction and the friendship shared by these four musicians emanates through their passion and sincere love of playing, as is evidenced in the striking complicity of their collaborations.
