Le 'Salon romantique' is a cycle of concerts and conferences with musicologists and art historians during the Carnival of Venice 2013 season and the special event Donne a Venezia. This is, in short, the diversified events programme that Palazzetto Bru Zane is offering within the next few months. 'Le salon romantique' is a foray into the domain of chamber music. The composers and the history of nineteenth-century music adopted salons as the true show-cases of culture, places for experimentation and reflection on profound emotions. What better venue than the concert hall of Palazzetto Bru Zane, with dimensions that correspond to nineteenth-century salons and offer no barriers between the performer and spectator?
