By the 1770s, Paris was at the heart of the intellectual, political, and cultural upheavals of the Age of Enlightenment, which would soon bring about both the American and French Revolutions. Harpist Maxine Eilander and violinist Tekla Cunningham perform music from the Parisian salons by Anne Brillon de Jouy, Zoe de la Rue, and Joseph Boulogne, Chevalier de Saint Georges.
Free lunchtime concerts at the crossroads of Downtown and Belltown, Sanctuary in the City aims to foster a spirit of contemplation and respite in the midst of our busy and stressful lives. Join them for a 45-minute concert featuring some of the region’s finest musicians performing baroque to modern works, including many works by underrepresented composers.
After the concert, join the musicians and fellow music-lovers next door at Moore Coffee for sandwiches, treats, and more!
