Description

Le Salon is a concert and social series featuring performances by UL Lafayette faculty in the Alumni Center. Wine and refreshments served. LE SALON is a new chamber music series produced by the UL Lafayette School of Music and hosted by the Alumni Center. Please join us for the third and season-closing performance of LE SALON: chamber music in an intimate space, featuring a magical evening of wine, word, and Romantic song performed by UL Faculty and Alumni including Dr. Michael Blaney, Dr. Susanna Garcia, Dr. Lucas Munce, Molly Goforth and Louisa Peng. The evening is modeled after the French salon tradition of the 18-19th century where friends, intellectuals, poets, musicians, and philosophers were hosted by society leaders for lecture and entertainment. Music was often performed by members of the family or the composers themselves. The beautiful and historic Alumni Center, a home modeled in the French provincial architectural style and formerly owned by Maurice Heymann, acts as the perfect setting for this evening of music and refreshment. The concert will take place in the formal living room and features a specially-designed circular atrium, from which Mrs. Germain Rosenthal Heymann would play for guests on her grand piano. See you in the Salon...
