Chopin in Paris

Last call for the Chopin Festival at Orangerie du Parc de Bagatelle in Paris. The closing concert at 5 p.m. marks 27 years of chamber music honoring the great composer. This year’s event also honored Robert Schumann on the occasion of his 200th birthday. And what better day to enjoy a little musical serenity in the Eiffel district than today, a national holiday commemorating the storming of the Bastille. After the concert, hang around for the Bastille fireworks over the Trocadéro around 10 p.m.
