Experiencing Gypsy Jazz

Gypsy Jazz, also known as Jazz Manouche, finds its roots in the music of the Romani guitarist Django Reinhardt, who in the 1930s founded the genre by mixing traditional Romani music with swing. With its upbeat tempo and compelling improvisations, it continues to captivate listeners worldwide and the upcoming concert is an opportunity for aficionados and newcomers alike to immerse themselves in its lively spirit.

The choice to keep the concert free of charge aligns with the organizers' aims to make music accessible to all and to foster a sense of community through the shared experience of live performances. This event couldn't come at a better time for local residents and visitors looking to enjoy high-caliber music without the barrier of an admission fee.
