CONCERT AT THE ST EUSTACHE CHURCH

Monday 23 June 2008 – 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Included for registered participants and accompanying persons

The Concert will take place in Saint-Eustache, a magnificent gothic and Renaissance 16th century church, located in the heart of Paris. The reputation of Saint-Eustache is due not only to its splendid architecture and rich history, but also to its musical traditions and this will be a pleasant moment to enjoy music played by one of the Church’s tenured organ players. It must also be mentioned that the premiere of Te Deum by Berlioz and that of Liszt’s Missa Solemnis took place here. Nowadays, Saint- Eustache still remains a very popular venue for classical and baroque concerts.
