CLASSIC CONCERTS
5 surprising and mouth watering concerts that will take you on a voyage through the classics of music.
A FIVE SEATED CARRIAGE : Louvre – Versailles
From Louis XIV to Louis XVI, only certain carriages were given the royal privilege of transporting nobles and the bourgeois between the Louvre and Versailles, on errands of business, arts, and honors. Le Concert impromptu brings to life the music of the royal theaters, chambers, chapels, and even dining halls of these two royal palaces, all in the time it would take a carriage to travel from one to the other.

BEETHOVEN ACADEMY, LUDWIG BREWERY
In Vienna, Beethoven escaped his family’s control and proved to be a virtuoso pianist and genius composer. Embodying creative strength and artistic liberty, Beethoven performed, wrote, gave lessons and drank in Viennese breweries, where he composed many of his best-known works that were later to be performed during the prestigious “Academy” concerts.

MUSIC RECIPES
A fine epicurean, Rossini was quite the culinary innovator with his foie gras tournedos and his William Tell apple tart.

A tasty concert to be consumed without moderation.
