Covert enlightenment? What sounds contradictory was indeed an efficient practice in the Masonic Lodges of the 18th century. Here, likeminded advocates for decency, truth and beauty came together in a protected space to try new forms of social cohesion beyond social class, and pass on their ideals to the rest of the world: in London, Vienna, Weimar and Berlin. One of the foremost specialists for historic keyboard instruments has summoned several lodge brothers to the piano and performs a famous melody that used to be a Masonic anthem.
