Jazz on the Champs-Elysees
A Candlelight Concert at an Armenian Monastery by the Sea

On this evening, ancient walls will be filled with the soft glow of hundreds of candles, and the air will carry the breath of the sea. Somewhere between the saxophone, the sound of waves, and the muted hum of the evening city, Paris will begin…

Where every melody feels like a memory. Where the bars are still alive with echoes of cabaret from a hundred years ago, where swing was first danced—under the light of vintage street lamps and solitary bridges over the Seine.

On this night, the open courtyard of the Armenian seaside monastery will transform into an intimate Parisian club: instead of neon—hundreds of candles; instead of city noise—the breathing of the vast water beyond the walls.

The Champs-Élysées will come alive with the pulse of the double bass, the soft chords of the piano, the piercing saxophone solo, and the voice of Rinat Goldman.

La vie en rose—like an anthem to a great city—will dissolve into the evening cool and the sea air of another shore.
Sous le ciel de Paris—and we are already wandering the narrow streets of Montmartre, where Van Gogh and Picasso once lived.
I Will Wait for You—an invitation to meet by the Wall of Love, where Amélie was filmed.
Champs-Élysées—like a walk for two. The jazz of the Champs-Élysées.

Édith Piaf and Michel Legrand await you. Joe Dassin and Jean-Jacques Goldman invite you on this jazz journey.
