BBC Concert Orchestra, Live on BBC 3

Debussy, Gerswhin, Farnon LIVE ON BBC RADIO 3

Alexandra Palace theater, London (UK)

7:30 PM

BBC Concert Orchestra
Fiona Monbet, conductor
Giacomo Smith, Clarinet

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 BBC 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.
