Rococo Dialogues

With Rococo Dialogues, Filament celebrates the salons of Anne Louise Brillon and the musical inventions they sparked. Madame Brillon, a brilliant musician and keyboardist living in Paris in the 18th century, was a confidante of Benjamin Franklin, and also the muse for a burgeoning genre of chamber music, the accompanied keyboard sonata. In this colorful and innovative program, Filament shares music dedicated to her by Luigi Boccherini and Johann Schobert, alongside trios of Haydn and some of Brillon’s own music. Allowing these varied works to speak to one another, Filament links the world of Enlightenment era salons to our own vibrant time.
