“Taking its name from musica da camera (a 17th-century Italian term for chamber music), the Da Camera Society uncovers hidden SoCal gems with Chamber Music in Historic Sites, a live performance series that pairs classical music with, you guessed it, historic sites. Past seasons of the Da Camera Society's unique programming have brought music to the halls of the Bradbury Building, the LAPD headquarters, the habitats at the LA Zoo, and the Eisen and Hunt-designed Doheny Mansion, which boasts a magnificent Tiffany glass ceiling, not to mention unique acoustics. Now, Ensemble La Rêveuse play Le Petit Trianon in Pasadena, designed by Louis du Puget-Millar (1916).

L. A. Debut! The balustrades, columns and gilt ornament of a replica of Versailles’ Petit Trianon will provide the perfect setting and a splendid acoustic for an elegant program of 17th and 18th century French courtly songs. Like a guest at court, you'll luxuriate in these surroundings while savoring airs by Lambert, de la Barre, and Charpentier, along with instrumental music by Marais, Couperin, and Forqueray. The musicians of La Rêveuse "bring a Gallic elegance to their playing that serves the music beautifully" (The Sunday Times). "La Rêveuse’s supremely skilled and ecstatic performances give full force to [the] composers' extraordinary rich musical personalities and overflowing imaginations" (International Record Review). Light Reception.
