Join us in an evening celebrating the music of the French composer Charles Gounod.

 

Gounod’s life (1818-1893) coincided with an era of mechanical innovation that transformed European culture. Through his gloriously lyrical, expressive music, we’re going to be telling the story of how, with the help of three brand new pieces of technology ~ the railway, the piano and the offset litho printing press ~ Gounod gained world fame as a writer of operas instead of the modest church composer he might have been, or the priest he probably, in his heart of hearts, really wished to be.
