Le Salon, a compendium of Los Angeles' most renowned chamber music performers, will be giving his Second Season's Series of eight concerts at the famed Dorothy Chandler Pavilion every third Sunday beginning October 16th 2011 through May 20th, 2012. The hours will be from 4:00pm until 6:00pm.
The performances will take place on the 5th floor in an intimate stage free environment, eliminating the boundaries between the artists and auditor.
The concerts will be followed by interactive discussions with the audience sharing ideas, concepts and impressions about the music performed, while enjoying French Champagne provided by Montesquieu Winery and a gourmet buffet provided by Patina.
Created by French Pianist/Melodist Francois Chouchan, this original concept of making chamber music even more accessible to music lovers, giving them the opportunity to be embraced by the music, and to become totally immersed in the experience. There will be limited seating for this exclusive opportunity.

LE SALON DE MUSIQUE: FRENCH HISTORY 
Initiated and amplified by Marie Antoinette during the years 1780 the BELVEDERE or SALON DE MUSIQUE was erected on an artificial islet at the PETIT TRIANON DOMAIN within the vast gardens of the CHATEAU DE VERSAILLES.
The unique intimacy of this place exemplified the eclecticism and refinement of the Queen and revealed her embrace of an “Art de Vivre” founded on a freedom of thought inspired by the Enlightenment. Succeeding to Madame de Pompadour, Marie Antoinette had the ambition to develop Versailles as a unique place filled with contrasts between baroque and classical, sobriety and extravagance.
By imposing her personal taste at Versailles for the first time and especially through Le Salon de Musique, MARIE ANTOINETTE found a haven of intimacy that allowed her and her court to escape from "Etiquette".
