Perfect Harmony

April 16

Experience springtime in Paris — without the hassles of international travel — at the ACT Arts Centre. For the latest installment of the Sunday Chamber Music Series, “Midnight in Paris,” curator David Gillham highlights three prominent composers from the French capital: Marin Marais, Claude Debussy and Gabriel Fauré. Marais was a Baroque composer who once played for the royal court at Versailles; Debussy was part of the Impressionist movement and a contemporary of Claude Monet; and Fauré helped to modernize music in France. All three share a certain je ne sais quoi that’s sure to delight. theactmapleridge.org
