 ique de la Garde Nationale Parisienne \n\nIn commemoration of the 250th an
 niversary of the Marquis de Lafayette's 1824-25 tour of the United States\
 , enjoy a lecture/concert of music from Lafayette's lifetime performed on 
 early 19th-century instruments. Join researchers and historical-performanc
 e specialists Dominic Giardino (historical clarinets) and Dr. Chris Troian
 o (serpent) to experience the music that underscored Lafayette's French Re
 volutionary career. The Age of Revolutions (1775-1848) was a period of soc
 ial\, political\, and cultural turbulence in Europe and the Americas. Ther
 e was perhaps no greater witness to this era of dramatic change than Gilbe
 rt du Motier\, Marquis de Lafayette. This lecture/performance\, with Lafay
 ette's leadership of the Garde Nationale Parisienne as the focal point\, w
 ill transport listeners to the desperate but optimistic early days of the 
 French Revolution when music left the aristocratic great rooms of Versaill
 es and poured onto the streets of Paris. \n\nAbout the Performers\nBased i
