La Palatine is a baroque ensemble made up of four young musicians who draw inspiration from the figure of Princess Palatine, the sister-in-law of Louis XIV. The group specializes in historically informed performances that evoke the vibrant musical culture of the French Baroque era, particularly focusing on pieces connected to the royal court and its Italian influences. Their repertoire includes works like "Dolce concento: Les Italiens à Paris sous Louis XIV," reflecting their dedication to exploring and reviving music from that specific historical context.
The ensemble’s name and concept pay homage to Elizabeth-Charlotte of Bavaria—known as "La Palatine"—a German princess who married into French royalty and was notable in the cultural landscape of the time. Together, the musicians of La Palatine craft performances that blend scholarly research with artistic expression, aiming to bring the richness of 17th-century baroque music to modern audiences.
