Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-George 🎻

Is talent ever enough? 🤺🎼 -


Salut à tou.te.s,


Joseph Bologne, un maestro oublié, mérite d'être reconnu comme un des plus grands artistes de l'histoire de la musique française. Compositeur, violoniste et escrimeur de renom, il fut idolâtré par l'élite de son temps, y compris par Marie-Antoinette elle-même. Redécouvert ces dernières années grâce au cinéma et à d'autres médias, il offre à une nouvelle génération l'opportunité d'apprécier son talent.
