Lectures

Among the topics that she covers are;

The musical history of the Rothschild family.

Charlotte discovered an incredible little musical autograph book that was started by a previous Charlotte in 1828. She invited composers such as Rossini, Mendelssohn, Meyerbeer, Chopin and others who were either performers in Rothschild houses, or teachers and friends of the family to write a song or piano piece in this Livre d'Or. The book was passed down through the generations. After many years of research and with the help of letters in the family Archive, this musically illustrated talk sheds a light on the Soirées or parties held in the drawing rooms of the various grand houses in Europe during the 19th Century.
