Named after the Nouvelle Athènes district of Paris, where Chopin, Liszt, Georges Sand, or Delacroix were inventing new musical, pictorial or literary forms in the 1830s, the association La Nouvelle Athènes aims to recreate, in the spirit of the salons of the time, the ideal conditions for a dialogue between musicians, piano collectors, restorers, Master Artisans, and a growing public of music lovers who are passionately interested in the origins of the piano, from 1750 to 1850. 

In this Parisian salon we will listen to the Wranitsky variations by Edoardo Torbianelli, professor at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, at the University of Arts in Bern, to the Sonata à Thérèse by Luca Montebugnoli, professor at the CRR in Paris and to the Trio op.11. for clarinet, cello and piano on the theme "Pria ch'io l'impegno" from Weigl's opera, which the Ensemble Lélio enriches with the operatic aria and an Irish song very fashionable at the time of Beethoven.
