Mixing dynamism of American jazz with melodic French chanson and European swing on the scenic Conservatory Lawn of  New York Botanical Garden will surely be a night to remember!  The concert brings together a world-class ensemble of musicians with Alphonso Horne on trumpet and Camille Bertault, vocals. 

Alphonso Horne is a two-time Grammy nominated trumpeter recognized as a rising star of the next generation of musicians. Camille Bertault is not only a sensational vocalist but is also known for composing and writing. The French Connection concert will include a range of music spanning over four decades of jazz from hot rhythms of Django Reinhardt to the playful popular songs.

The concert is presented by Catskilll Jazz Factory , an innovative educational and performance art community. Friday June 16, 2017 performance is part of the summer concert program Jazz & CHIHULY at the NYBG. The program takes place during CHIHULY installation at NYBG and allows for viewing the glass sculptures lit after sunset. You can book your tickets here.
