LE SALON DE MUSIQUES A True Feast for The Senses
Francois Chouchan
After eleven years at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles , Le Salon de Musiques has relocated its successful chamber music concert series to San Diego at the historic La Jolla Woman ’ s Club . The 2021-2022 Season Premiere will be held on Sunday , September 26 at 4:00 P . M .
Founder , artistic director , and concert pianist Francois Chouchan is thrilled to introduce his unique , intimate concert concept to San Diegans for the first time . Inspired by Marie-Antoinette ’ s Salon de Musique in Versailles , and by the Schubertiaden of his mentor Franz Schubert in Vienna , Chouchan always wanted to perform and to share music differently .
Chouchan shared with GB Magazine , “ Chamber music has to be performed in small spaces , without any stage or separation between the artists and the audience . Close to the musicians , the audience can feel the beautiful vibrations of each instrument and watch the magical interaction between them . This is the essence of chamber music .”
Introduced by a musicologist , each performance – 9 events in total from September 26th until June 12th – is performed by world renowned musicians . Each concert is followed by a question-and-answer session between the artists and the audience , with an elegant Champagne reception and an epicurean buffet catered by Girard Gourmet .
Highly praised by the arts reviewers , the chamber music concert series presents some of the most beautiful masterpieces of the romantic repertoire . According to Chouchan , “ Many genius masters have been totally neglected ; their wonderful manuscripts were rarely performed after their demise . I try to reintroduce these pieces to the public . Our season will include several of them as U . S . Premieres .”
“ Playing music is an act of love ,” shared Chouchan . “ I always knew that sharing my passions and my emotions through music would be my priority in life . You do not need a musical background to enjoy classical music . You just sit and let your body experience the beauty . This is the main purpose of Le Salon de Musiques : being a true feast for the senses .”
