The talk explores Saint-Georges’s contributions to the musical landscape of the French Enlightenment through a sampling of representative repertory—considering works composed for public concerts, aristocratic salons, and commercial print markets. More broadly, it situates this musical output within a transatlantic context, discussing the links between the Parisian art world and France’s colonial projects in the Caribbean across the long eighteenth century.Julia Doe is Associate Professor of Historical Musicology at Columbia University, specializing in the music, literature, and politics of eighteenth-century France.
