Marcel Proust—a writer consumed by the exploration of memory—was a famous lover of music, the invisible art that only exists in the passage of time.

To coincide with its two major exhibitions of French art, The Morgan Library & Museum presents Helicon in a concert of music from the life of Marcel Proust. The program features Pulitzer Prize winning poet, Richard Howard, reading his own translations from "A la recherche du temps perdu."

The exhibitions, "David, Delacroix, and Revolutionary France: Drawings from the Louvre" and "Ingres at the Morgan" will be open at 6:30 for concert attendees.
