We have been commanded by the Princesse to invite you to a musical evening of compositions and performances by just some of her many brilliant protégés who have illuminated her glittering soirées at her Paris salon in the 40 or so years since she arrived from the USA.

You will not only hear the most enchanting music by Satie, Fauré, Ravel, Debussy, Stravinsky, Lili Boulanger, Cécile Chaminade and Beethoven, but you can also be sure to discover the very latest Parisian society gossip (c.1935).

“The recreation provided a charming scene. The range and significance of the pieces debuted in the [Princesse’s] drawing room was astonishing” The Guardian

Maggie Steed has enjoyed an enviable stage, film and TV career, with recent appearances including Paddington 2, Fisherman’s Friends and EastEnders. At the beginning of 2025 she joined the cast of the BBC’s popular long-running drama, Silent Witness.
