Lecture-Concert “French Gypsy Jazz: Reinhardt, Grappelli, Selmer-Maccaferri”

We’ll talk about gypsy jazz without boredom or academic stiffness: how this style was born, why Django Reinhardt became a legend, what Stéphane Grappelli has to do with it, and why Selmer-Maccaferri guitars matter to the world. And of course, we’ll put it all to the test right away — with live music performed on stage.

No mind-numbing theory — just your ears, a sense of rhythm, and pure enjoyment.

On stage — professional musicians:
Daria Bernhard (double bass)
Levon Nikogosyan (guitar)
Alexander Polyakov (guitar)
