Charlie’s Angels
Music from the Court of Charles II
Garry Clarke, Director
In 1660, Charles II returned from exile in France as Monarch of England. While in France he became a great admirer of Louis XIV’s band, Les Vingt-quatre Violins du Roi. Back in England, it wasn’t long before Charlie had his own band of angels, with the same name!
