Salon Geneviève de Chambure II (2022-23)

Les Arts Florissants and the Philharmonie de Paris honor Geneviève de Chambure, on the occasion of 2 exceptional concerts.

Musician, musicologist, collector, bibliophile... the Countess de Chambure was much more than a music lover. She played an essential role in the rediscovery and preservation of French heritage, supporting young musicians - such as William Christie - and saving from ruin an impressive quantity of musical instruments and scores of Italian Renaissance music. Her collection, acquired after her death by the French State, has greatly contributed to the collections of the Musée de la Musique.
