French culture in spotlight here

University of Wisconsin pianist Catherine Kautsky has visited Paris many times since she first went there at 13. But there is one time she remembers most fondly and vividly.

She had a sabbatical in 1994-95, and she and her philosophy professor husband, and their two children, had decided to go to Paris because they thought that’s where they would live the good life.

….Now, with the support of the UW Arts Institute, she has a new project to bring the wonders of French music and culture, especially art about childhood and absurdist art, to a broad Madison public.
