Fiona Monbet, Faubourg 23
FIONA MONBET- CONDUCTOR
It’s Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire falling in love in Funny Face. It’s Catherine Deneuve beneath the cheerfully coloured Umbrellas of Cherbourg. It’s Audrey Tautou as a waitress helping others find happiness in Amélie. Fiona Monbet conducts and performs her own work, Faubourg 23, written for jazz ensemble and orchestra; a celebration of both jazz and symphonic music that sits in a lineage that flows from Stephane Grappelli and is effervescent, uplifting and full of the joys of spring in Paris!
