Ulster Orchestra: April in Paris

Fiona Monbet Faubourg 23

FIONA MONBET CONDUCTOR

It’s Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire falling in love in Funny Face. It’s Catherine Deneuve beneath the cheerfully coloured Umbrellas of Cherbourg. It’s Audrey Tautou as a waitress helping others find happiness in Amélie. Fiona Monbet conducts and performs her own work, Faubourg 23, written for jazz ensemble and orchestra; a celebration of both jazz and symphonic music that sits in a lineage that flows from Stephane Grappelli and is effervescent, uplifting and full of the joys of spring in Paris!
