The Centre de Musique Baroque of Versailles was created in 1987. It combines different professions and promotes the discovery of the french musical heritage of the XVIIth and the XVIIth centuaries. The CMBV wants to explore and spotlights this forgotten heritage.

The french music spread out during the XVIIth and the XVIIIth centuries in Europe. This music was at the origin of several bold music styles which increased the value of this heritage. Lully, Rameau, Campra, Charpentier and many other composers are representative of the extraordinary artistic abundance of this time. This rich musical heritage got lost during the French Revolution. It took till the end of the XXth century to develop the musical movement “Renouveau Baroque”.

Forerunner of this approach, The Centre de Musique Baroque of Versailles was created in 1987 by Vincent Berthier de Lioncourt and Philippe Beaussant. At the Hôtel des Menus Plaisirs, they combined different professions and promoted the rediscovery of the french musical heritage from the XVIIth and XVIIIth century. Through its activities of edition, trainings and production of concerts and shows, its educational, artistic and cultural actions and the provision of its resources ; the CMBV tries to explore more than ever a forgotten heritage and to spread it out in France and all over the world.
