At Cité de la Musique

19th Arr., Paris

"rare instruments tell stories of distant lands and forgotten eras"
Circular and half-moon trumpets from the 1820s
Arrive early to browse the museum galleries

Two trumpet virtuosos breathe life into the museum's rarest brass, including Adolphe Sax's own parade trumpets built for Verdi's Aïda. Between pieces, a curator spills the stories behind these 200-year-old showpieces.

Saturday, March 20, 3:30 PM
