During the 18th century, women-led salons in Paris were hubs of cultural innovation. Anne-Louise Brillon de Jouy hosted a renowned salon from the late 1760s to the French Revolution, attracting composers like Johann Schobert and Luigi Boccherini. Despite never performing or publishing music publicly, she gained recognition as a talented composer and host. Benjamin Franklin frequented her salons, referring to them as "my Opera." Join us for this special event, with scholars Matthew Dirst and Annette Richards offering insightful musical commentary on Brillon de Jouy's influential salon culture.
