Tonight, to honour Bastille Day, Ellington habituée Libby Hammer and the très beau Tim Parish will lend their exquisite vocals to a range of great French songs in an elegant variety show. They have put together a charming concert of exquisite chanson, drawn from movie music and the jazz of the 1920s up until the 50s and 60s, when Paris was the focal point of the global jazz scene. French music, as culture lovers will know, has much to offer in terms of its subtle and poignant commentary on human nature and its poetry describing refreshingly profound and complex sentiments, both deeply personal and universal.

Join Libby and Tim as they take you to the most romantic city in the world for an elegant soirée of culture and music.
