Cécile McLorin Salvant

A French Affair will feature the brilliant artistry of three-time GRAMMY® winner Cécile McLorin Salvant and American Pianist Association Fellow Dan Tepfer. Both Cécile and Dan are Franco-American and this very special show will pay homage to the historic love affair between Jazz and 20th century French popular and classical repertoire. In keeping with its title the evening will be witty, warm and charming. From Piaf, to Barbara to Brel the show will feature the much loved, the new, and the dramatic. Two highlights of the evening, both with the Britten Sinfonia String Quintet, will be the world premiere of a special suite of three poems by Virginie Sampeur composed by Dan for Cecile and a show stopping finale of Deux Amants, Ne Me Quitte Pas and Mon Dieu.
