Sevres and Meissen-Redefining Rococo

Too often Rococo art and music is dismissed as frilly and pretty but oh how we miss the affect.  The French are sensual and seductive.  The Germans are energized and often crazed or grotesque and disturbing in their "decorations."  Four Nations explores the temptations and dangers behind the works of porcelain and music of Leclair, Francoeur, Rameau, Graun and Bach.

The concert takes place in a reconfigured barn, now the home of serious collectors of art. The living room had a view over the Taconic range.  The hills will be orange, red, and gold in the high season of turning leaves.
