Upcoming shows

December is shaping up to be quite busy. I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be giving two exceptional concerts with the big band at Bal Blomet on Saturday, December 20th at 5pm and 8pm.

The compositions with the big band have grown in scope, the songs have become part of our DNA, as has the Frank Sinatra repertoire, which I have immense joy performing.

After a month at the Théâtre du Chêne Noir in Avignon with Isabelle Georges and the Cole Porter songs in Love, Linda, we took some time off for an extraordinary trip to Vietnam. We all know Vietnam through films, books, and history, but discovering this country in person is an unforgettable experience.

What a joy to reunite for Oh Là Là with Isabelle at the Grand Théâtre de Provence, at the Cresco for the Classic Jazz Festival in Saint-Mandé, and for the first time in Los Angeles, not to mention our reunion with the Magnifica quintet for a Lumières sur Broadway in Chauny.

December starts beautifully with the Orchestre Ensemble de Biarritz at La Gare du Midi for two Broadway Symphonique concerts conducted by Yves Bouillier, and for New Year’s, we reunite with the Orchestre National de Mulhouse conducted by Christoph Koncz for a series of ten concerts with a custom-created program where I have, among other things, the pleasure of performing Sunset Boulevard.

Tickets for the concerts at Bal Blomet are now on sale—you know what to do! I look forward to seeing you there!
