Paris Letters

A charming, funny, poignant collection of 23 letters from Marcel Proust to his upstairs neighbour.

These days love letters can be in short supply. With the advent of e-mailing, texting, tweeting, and other kinds of electronic communication, an old-fashioned love letter is almost nonexistent. Luckily, there are still romantic songs around that remind us of our loved ones, songs that are really musical love letters we can send any time we feel like it.

An American Organist in Paris presents Lee Orville Erwin's letters from France to his family in 1930-1931. In these letters, Erwin recounts his daily experiences and encounters with some of the 20th century's greatest musicians and teachers.
