description

Frenchman Pierre Vachon was living in Berlin and Potsdam in the 1780s as leader of the Prussian court orchestra. The chamber music by the gifted violinist is a real discovery as he is considered to be one of the precursors of string quartets in France.

The series "Parisian Parlours" is staged in cooperation with the Supporters' Club of the Music Festival and the Piano Salon Christophori Berlin. We wish to thank our hosts Tanja and Axel Fischer.

Event is in the past.
