On the occasion of their visit to Paris, the singers of the Blackhawk Chorus invite you to a rich, colorful and festive program, conceived as a veritable transatlantic musical voyage. You’ll hear emblematic pieces from the American tradition, soulful gospel tunes and film music, as well as a few delightful French surprises revisited with charm and emotion.
The program includes:
– Cerf-volant – Bruno Coulais
– La Vie en Rose – arr. Rutherford
– Pavane for a Silent Night – Ravel / arr. Liebergen
– The Light of a Clear Blue Morning – arr. Craig Hella Johnson
– Chanson d’Amour – arr. Paul Hart

The choir will be accompanied on piano by the talented Kenji Harada, a musician and arranger active on the Californian music scene.
A not-to-be-missed event!
This concert, entirely free of charge, is open to all lovers of choral music, to the curious, to strollers, to families… in short, to all those who wish to experience a beautiful moment of sharing and musical emotion in a prestigious and inspiring setting.
Come and celebrate music, summer and Franco-American friendship with simplicity and heart!
