Enjoy an evening with Matthew Kaminski (the Atlanta Braves organist) and his renowned Hot Club Jazz Fellowship, playing in the spirit of Romani jazz guitarist Jean "Django" Reinhardt, and the French jazz violinist Stéphane Grappelli, who popularized this lighthearted music that's an escape from the ordinary and that will take you to another time and place. Matthew leads this group on the accordion, with Dan Coy on guitar, Marla Feeney on violin/clarinet. 

 

For this performance, The Hot Club Jazz Fellowship will feature the music of Édith Piaf (1915–1963) a French singer and actress renowned for her tragic ballads like "La Vie en Rose" and "Non, je ne regrette rien," becoming a major symbol of French culture. Special guest vocalist, Alvard Mayilyan, will grace the stage with her inspiring take on Mrs. Piaf. As an opera singer and performer, Alvard has collaborated with numerous local opera companies, including Salt Marsh Opera, Regina Opera, New York Lyric Opera Theatre, and Atlanta Opera. Her performances have also taken her to Europe and Armenia, her home country.
