ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½

Swinging jazz, sizzling melodies and sheer glamour as the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Concert Orchestra raises a glass of champagne to jazz-age Paris – and gets ready to party like it’s 1929.

We love Paris in the springtime! Well, who doesn’t? – 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 – an artist who lives and breathes the spirit of the great Django Reinhardt. So join her, and clarinettist extraordinaire Giacomo Smith, as the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Concert Orchestra foxtrots back to the roaring Twenties – the era of Gershwin, Cole Porter and Sidney Bechet – before jumping forward to the smoky cafés and light-night cabarets of Edith Piaf. Gershwin’s An American in Paris gets things swinging, but that’s not even the half of it. Sizzling jazz and effortless chic – anything’s possible when you hit the town in the City of Light.
