The French American Friendship Foundation is sponsoring its annual Mass to commemorate the life and death of Louis XVI, King of France, at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 26. 2002 at St. Ann's Cathedral, 110 East 12th Street in New York City. The Mass will be conducted in Latin.
A program including a buffet reception, lecture and concert will follow the mass from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at Café Loup, 105 West 13th Street, which is located between 6th and 7th Avenues.
This year we are honored to have as our guest speaker His Royal and Imperial Highness, Archduke Dr. Geza von Habsburg. A descendant of a brother of Marie Antoinette, Archduke von Habsburg is a world-renowned authority on Fabergé, author of several books on princely collections and a regular gueat lecturer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He was also the President of Christie's Europe for many years. The title of the lecture and slide presentation, which will be given in English, is "Louis XVI, A Habsburg Viewpoint."
Following the presentation, a chamber ensemble will perform works composed by Mozart, DeBussy, and Beethoven. The freelance ensemble is comprised of distinguished artists who perform with internationally acclaimed orchestras around the world.
Price for the reception and lecture is $60.00 for members per person and $65.00 for non-member per person.
(And ThankYou ThankYou ThankYou ... I shall get on it immediately ... as best I can, anyway, with the Mardi Gras break upcoming.)
