Live from Paris

Live from Paris, Georgia Mann continues Radio 3's New Year celebrations with music and guests live in the French capital.

Georgia Mann is the guest of Radio France in the city nicknamed the ‘City of Lights’ because it was a centre for education and learning during the Enlightenment. It is also a city of music, home to many composers and musicians over the last 500 years and more. Georgia explores the Palais Garnier, Paris's renowned opera house as it enters its 150th year, talks to journalist Agnès Poirier about the newly reopened Notre Dame Cathedral after its shocking fire in 2019, visits the home of singer-songwriter, actor and director Serge Gainsbourg and talks to his daughter Charlotte Gainsbourg about his legacy, and accordionist Laurent Derache explains the importance of the accordion in Parisian culture. Plus live in the studio French pianist Pascal Rogé performs Satie alongside fellow pianist Elena Font and soprano Anne-Sophie Duprels, and we have Hot Club de France inspired jazz live from the Adrien Tarraga Quartet.
