Sanctuary in the City: Mozart in Paris

After a two-year hiatus due to COVID, Sanctuary in the City, Pacific MusicWorks’ free series of
lunchtime concerts, returns to downtown Seattle.

The year was 1778. A 22-year-old former child prodigy returned to Paris, looking for work, and
found the bustling musical hub less receptive than it was when he toured there as a 6-year-old
wunderkind. Violinist Tekla Cunningham and fortepianist Henry Lebedinsky perform a deeply
heartfelt violin sonata Mozart wrote while on that unsuccessful job hunt, along with works by some
of Paris’ most celebrated musicians of the time, including Joseph Boulogne, Chevalier de Saint-
Georges, and the brilliant Anne Louise Brillon de Juoy.

Enjoy this FREE lunchtime concert in the gorgeous acoustic of Christ Our Hope at the Josephinum,
where Downtown meets Belltown.

Founded in 2009 by GRAMMY award winning lutenist and conductor Stephen Stubbs, Pacific
MusicWorks inspires audiences with music and music theater worthy of the world stage, presenting
