About This Event
Swinging jazz, sizzling melodies and sheer glamour as the 麻豆官网首页入口 Concert Orchestra raises a glass of champagne to jazz-age Paris 鈥� and gets ready to party like it鈥檚 1929.
We love Paris in the springtime! Well, who doesn鈥檛? 鈥� and tonight, on Friday Night is Music Night, Alexandra Palace becomes the Hot Club de France, with a toe-tapping, cocktail-sipping salute to the spirit of jazz, French style.
Violinist and conductor Fiona Monbet is a jazz legend in her own right 鈥� an artist who lives and breathes the spirit of the great Django Reinhardt. So join her, and clarinettist extraordinaire Giacomo Smith, as the 麻豆官网首页入口 Concert Orchestra foxtrots back to the roaring Twenties 鈥� the era of Gershwin, Cole Porter and Sidney Bechet 鈥� before jumping forward to the smoky caf茅s and light-night cabarets of Edith Piaf. Gershwin鈥檚 An American in Paris gets things swinging, but that鈥檚 not even the half of it. Sizzling jazz and effortless chic 鈥� anything鈥檚 possible when you hit the town in the City of Light.
