When Paris Sizzled: The Fabulous 1920s!

Come meet us at Le boeuf sur le toit for an effervescent, bubbly-fueled, bohemian night (or afternoon!) out… C’est les années folles à Paris, friends – the crazy years in Paris –and we’ll be rubbing shoulders with the likes of Milhaud and his Les Six pals, Picasso, Diaghilev, Satie, Hemingway, Coco Chanel, Cole Porter and Josephine Baker, just to name a few of the regulars who once played, sang, danced and reveled into the wee hours at this celebrated cabaret-bar. Peek around the corner, and you just might catch a glimpse of our beloved Ravel, lamenting his 5-time-losing-streak at the Prix de Rome competition… Our visit to this deliciously dizzying world will feature his loss-defying-brilliance as heard in the Sonata No. 2 for violin and piano, the Ma mère l’Oye suite for four hands, the brilliant Jeux d’eau, and his Histoires naturelles song-cycle.
