  de la Garde Nationale Parisienne \n\nIn commemoration of the 250th annive
 rsary of the Marquis de Lafayette's 1824-25 tour of the United States\, en
 joy a lecture/concert of music from Lafayette's lifetime performed on earl
 y 19th-century instruments. Join researchers and historical-performance sp
 ecialists Dominic Giardino (historical clarinets) and Dr. Chris Troiano (s
 erpent) to experience the music that underscored Lafayette's French Revolu
 tionary career. The Age of Revolutions (1775-1848) was a period of social\
 , political\, and cultural turbulence in Europe and the Americas. There wa
 s perhaps no greater witness to this era of dramatic change than Gilbert d
 u Motier\, Marquis de Lafayette. This lecture/performance\, with Lafayette
 's leadership of the Garde Nationale Parisienne as the focal point\, will 
 transport listeners to the desperate but optimistic early days of the Fren
 ch Revolution when music left the aristocratic great rooms of Versailles a
 nd poured onto the streets of Paris. \n\nAbout the Performers\nBased in Wi
