Lafayette: Music for the Marquis

Step back in time with performers Anne Enslow and Ridley Enslow, in a program that brings both music and history together in a heartfelt tribute to French-American hero, the Marquis de Lafayette.

This show follows Lafayette's life, beginning with his childhood in the court of France to his service in the American Revolution, where he performed with distinction both on and off the battlefield. However, the post-war years were not kind to Lafayette. He tried to bring American ideals to the nascent French Revolution, unleashing furious mobs. He suffered harsh imprisonment, until he was finally released through the efforts of his wife, Adrienne, and on promise that he would stay out of politics.
