Enchantée! Step into a night of Parisian sparkle with the orchestra and guest violinist Tim Kliphuis. Blending Gypsy jazz, swing, folk, and classical elegance, Kliphuis and his band bring music by Django Reinhardt, Stéphane Grappelli, and Kliphuis himself to life in vibrant orchestral color. Lyrical, playful, and full of energy, this evening captures the rhythm and charm of the swinging thirties in Paris. Learn more about the Tim Kliphuis Band here.

Under Paris Skies

Capitol Square

As valuable as this treasure is, sometimes the focus on the individual geniuses of Central European music obscures the view of the incredible diversity surrounding it. How many melodies from village and peasant wedding musicians are still to be discovered! In this chamber concert, Angelina Nalbantova from Bulgaria and Nico Gutu from Moldova show us what Eastern Europe, including Romania, as well as Argentina, France, and Spain, have to offer in this broad field. The proximity to improvised jazz is almost always palpable – the focus is on Chick Corea's masterpiece "Spain." Violin and accordion are the flexible instruments, a perfect fit here, as they stand in stark contrast to the large symphony orchestra. Have a good trip out into the wide world!
