Paris of Cole Porter and Gershwin

A festive night of music, stories, and champagne celebrating 1920s Paris as the dazzling playground of composers, artists, poets and lovers: a magical era where American jazz met French Avantgarde and the world changed forever.

Led by Pavel Timofeyevsky in his signature storytelling style - sharp, vivid, and irresistibly entertaining - this is a concert that feels like stepping into a film: you’ll hear the music, but also will visualise the fascinating context behind it. Pavel guides you through the Paris that was enchanted by Cole Porter and George Gershwin, scandalised by Igor Stravinsky and Sergei Diaghilev, intrigued by James Joyce and Marcel Proust - a city of celebrity cocktail glamour, late-night cabarets, creative rivalries, and the cultural fever that turned it into a magnet for reinvention.

At the heart of the evening is live performances with Pavel and guest singers bringing the era’s sound-world to life: jazz pulse, French sophistication, and the bold harmonies that changed popular music forever.

The soiree begins with a champagne and French-inspired canapés reception. Expect a salon atmosphere where you are close enough to feel every shift of the mood: part concert, part narrated journey, part celebration.
