A young queen plays the harp… A storyteller talks of Marie-Antoinette’s passion for music. A tale of royalty and music.

Marie-Antoinette’s reign did indeed represent a golden age for the harp in France. 

A devoted music lover (she particularly loved Hayden’s Symphony No. 85, which bears her title: “The Queen”) and herself a harpist, Marie-Antoinette contributed to the blossoming of a repertoire that Les Arts Florissants and Xavier de Maistre explore here on period instruments.

Family concert in relation with "Music for Marie-Antoinette" conducted by William Christie.
