The program will include selections from “The Art of Modulation” by Francois Andre Danican Philidor, better known as history’s first great chess master who was world chess champion from 1747 to 1795 and the son of Louis XIV’s music librarian, along with works by Georg Philipp Telemann, Michel Blavet and others.
