Le Bal: Enfer & Paradis

At The French Library Get Directions

Le Bal is back and promises to be divine! Join us for our 5th annual soirée in support of our Mosaïque initiative for expanded and exceptional cultural programming. We are excited to open up new areas of our double brownstone mansion once again for a 3-floor party in true French style. Choose your fate, whether it be dancing the night away in the flames of enfer, sipping heavenly French cocktails with the angels in paradis – or both! The choice is yours! An extraordinary experience awaits you in every room.

Across multiple dance floors, Byoosik will mix the hottest underground beats for the rebels while manu. will spin entrancing techno and experimental sounds in the clouds. Renowned international violinist Consuelo Lepauw will float between both destinations with her captivating pop-up performances and Belgian harpist Pia Salvia will whisk you away to heaven with her dreamlike sounds. French cocktails crafted by top Boston-area mixologists (including Matthew Schrage of Highball Lounge, Jason Cool of Pisco Porton and Nicholas Mansur of Shepard) as well as hors d'œuvres and desserts are complimentary for all guests throughout this soirée. The evening will also feature a silent auction with alluring prizes and art on display including a piece on a special one-night loan from the Centre Pompidou-Metz!

Dress Code: Hip Black Tie. Red, white, and/or black attire strongly encouraged.
