The Music and Arts Festival is in appreciation for the continued support of our audience.  It also provides an opportunity to showcase new talent who will perform during our next season starting in September.  The Academie Royale de Music is directed by Baharat Atlas.  The Academie Royale des Peintures is directed by Pekel Panacek.  Both academies and their directors are dedicated in their mission to supporting and showcasing fine music and art in Second Life. 

Duché de Coeur is a ficticious name for the area of western France, that is made up of the real life names Provence, Languedoc, Aquitaine, and Poitou, and further to the north, Normandie and Touraine, and to the far east, Franca Contea.  It is an accurate depiction of a world of friendship and romance as it might have been around the Age of Enlightenment.  We prefer to think of this as a real life environment with real people, but 225 years ago in an idealistic world where all classes live together in harmony.  For more information about the sim, contact Bedrich Panacek or SkyeRyder Varriale.
