A French Salon showcases the spectacular artistry of multi-award-winning US jazz musicians - singer Cécile McLorin Salvant and pianist Dan Tepfer - as they explore their French heritage over two unforgettable nights at The Grange Festival. Produced by 23Arts for the Festival, the show will also feature special guest pianist Thomas Enhco and the much-loved Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.

A ravishing array of music will be performed, including chansons made famous by Édith Piaf, Barbara and Josephine Baker. Highlights of this exceptional event will be the world première of a specially commissioned song cycle written for Cécile by Dan, Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G major, and a show-stopping finale of new orchestral arrangements featuring Jacques Brel’s Ne me quitte pas and Édith Piaf’s Mon Dieu.

Cécile McLorin Salvant is the recipient of numerous prestigious accolades, including three GRAMMY® awards, the Glenn Gould Protégé Prize and a MacArthur Genius Grant. The late operatic soprano Jessye Norman described her as "a unique voice supported by an intelligence and full-fledged musicality, which light up every note she sings". Dan Tepfer has worked with some of the leading lights in jazz and classical music, from Lee Konitz to Renée Fleming. His honours include first prizes at the Montreux Jazz Festival Solo Piano Competition and the American Pianists Association Jazz Piano Competition. He also earned global acclaim for his album Goldberg Variations / Variations, described by New York Magazine as "elegant, thoughtful and thrilling".
