The Kenneth Taylor Concert Series presents Les Délices.
Les Délices (pronounced "lay day-lease") fascinates and inspires audiences by exploring music of the past in ways that spark creativity and empower people of all ages to think differently about music and culture. Founded by baroque oboist Debra Nagy in 2009, Les Délices has established a reputation for unique programs that “can’t help but get one listening and thinking in fresh ways” (San Francisco Classical Voice) and The New York Times observed that “Concerts and recordings by Les Délices are journeys of discovery.”
Touring highlights for Les Délices include performances for Music Before 1800 (New York City), the Boston Early Music Festival, Da Camera Society (Los Angeles), Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, San Francisco Early Music Society, The Frick Collection, Columbia University’s Miller Theater, and the Yale Collection of Musical Instruments. Les Délices also presents an annual series in Ohio and produces SalonEra, an acclaimed web series and podcast for early music.
Known for their adventurous, thematic programming, Les Délices will complete a multi-year commissioning project exploring myth and its impact on our lives in 2027.
