CLASSICAL | "Paris Salon" 

By David Raymond

 

For its concerts this weekend, Publick Musick will recreate a Paris salon, with an array of elegantly-turned music, including one of the so-called "Paris Quartets" by Georg Philipp Telemann, a cello sonata by Jean Barrière, and a violin sonata by an especially interesting character: the Afro-French virtuoso violinist, composer, and fencing master le Chevalier de Saint-Georges.
