It’s a time warp back to the 19th century! In Beethoven’s era, folks used to gather ‘round at home, where the flicker of a candle and a musical instrument was all that was need for an evening of merrymaking. Friends and family would play music, laugh and drink into the wee hours.
Our post concert musical salons take you back to Beethoven’s time. Each of the four salons brings you different music and a different feel, led by piano virtuoso Frédéric Lacroix.
