On Tuesday, June 9, 2009, the Alliance Française de Milwaukee hosted a reception for M. Jean-Baptiste Main de Bossiere, Consul général de France à Chicago. The reception was well attended. To the crowd’s pleasure, high school student Ari Lipchik played Bach’s adagio sonata in G-minor on violin. Afterwards, the Consul General spoke eloquently about the Alliance Française’s role in promoting French language and culture world wide, and the history of French influence in the Midwest. He wrapped up his speech with a comment on the warm friendship between Obama and Sarkozy. Lipchik. Wollersheim Winery graciously donated the wine and Larry’s Market provided French hors d’oeuvre.
