The halls of Versailles await. Velvet hangs heavy in the air. Trumpets gleam. Somewhere, a fanfare begins.
This gentle, sensory concert invites children aged 5–11 to travel back to the glittering world of the French Baroque — where music didn’t just echo through the royal court, but shimmered, whispered, and blazed like sunlight on gold.
Explore a treasure chest of sights, sounds and textures: the softness of silk, the scent of old wood and spice, the glow of mirrors and metal. Then let the trumpets lead you through a story told in breath and brass. Music for kings and queens, brought vividly to life.
A chance to hear with more than your ears… and arrive somewhere new.
