Home salons and coffee house gatherings were lively and invigorating social events in many cities in 18th-century Europe. People gathered to hear new and old music, read poetry and play excerpts, and discuss the latest scientific, political, and artistic news. The Hillsdale 18th-Century Chamber Orchestra and faculty guests from across campus invite you to hear the music of J. S. Bach and Georg Philippe Telemann as part of a salon experience, and hopefully compel you to consider why Don Quixote’s popularity and influence may have been as prominent in the mid-1700s as it is today.
