An Evening in Élisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre's Parisian Salon - "Bach to You" Recital Series
with The Washington Bach Consort

January-March 2025

Selected venues - private series

Authors, musicians, artists, and intellectuals gathered regularly in Élisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre’s spacious Parisian apartment to share their newest work and engage in lively discussions. Jacquet de La Guerre was herself a prominent composer and harpsichordist, and she frequently performed her own works along with the repertoire of her colleagues in these salons. Including Jacquet de La Guerre’s remarkable retelling of the heroine Judith, Nicolas Bernier’s whimsical musings on the newfound powers of coffee, a charming instrumental chaconne by Jacques Morel, and an uplifting aria by J.S. Bach, our program recreates an unforgettable evening in the salon.
