With our inspiring guests Mark Steinberg and Anton Nel and the exquisite tenor Aaron Sheehan, we create mirror images from the Salons of the early 18th and the late 19th century with harpsichord and piano works of Debussy and Rameau, songs of Rinaldo Hahn and Henri Duparc, and the passionate Sonata for violin and piano of Cesar Franck.
