Helicon Ensemble

Proust's love of music, what he called "the invisible art that only exists in the passage of time," is the central focus of this concert from the history-conscious ensemble, which is linked to the Morgan's two French art exhibitions—"David, Delacroix, and Revolutionary France" and "Ingres at the Morgan." Music by some of Proust's favorite composers, including Reynaldo Hahn, Saint-Saëns and Franck, is interspersed with readings from Proust's Remembrance of Things Past by poet and translator Richard Howard.
