Tim Kliphuis & Jimmy Grant Concert
Award-winning gypsy jazz violin legend Tim Kliphuis (Holland) and America’s rising guitar star Jimmy Grant (LA) celebrate the music of famed musical duo, Stéphane Grappelli and Django Reinhardt. We look forward to their return to the Ashokan Center for a lively concert in the performance hall!
Doors: 6:30pm | Showtime: 7:00pm
With their show “Under Paris Skies” Tim and Jimmy re-create the 1930s in Paris, including melancholy chanson “Je Suis Seul Ce Soir” (I’m Alone Tonight), swinging “J’Attendrai” (I Will Wait for You) and world-famous “Sous Le Ciel de Paris”, sung by legendary Edith Piaf. Their playing also draws inspiration from neo-classical and traditional music, as they alternate moments of dazzling interplay with melancholy and sheer exhilaration, in an inspired conversational journey that is different every night.
