Gershwin, An American in Paris is a vibrant musical portrait of Paris seen through the eyes of an American composer. Inspired by George Gershwin’s own travels in France, the work blends classical orchestration with jazz rhythms, blues harmonies, and infectious melodies. First premiered in 1928, the piece captures the energy of Parisian streets, the elegance of European culture, and the optimism of the modern age. Famous for its use of taxi horns and lively orchestral colors, An American in Paris remains one of Gershwin’s most beloved compositions. Performed in a historic setting, this concert offers audiences an immersive journey into the soundscape of early 20th-century Paris, where American jazz meets French sophistication in a joyful and timeless celebration.

Sainte Chapelle Paris Tickets
he Sainte-Chapelle (Holy Chapel) is a royal medieval Gothic chapel, located near the Palais de la Cité, on the Île de la Cité in the heart of Paris, France.
Begun some time after 1239 and consecrated on 26 April 1248,[1] the Sainte-Chapelle is considered among the highest achievements of the Rayonnant period of Gothic architecture. Its erection was commissioned by King Louis IX of France to house his collection of Passion Relics, including Christ's Crown of Thorns - one of the most important relics in medieval Christendom.
Along with the Conciergerie, the Sainte-Chapelle is one of the earliest surviving buildings of the Capetian royal palace on the Île de la Cité. Although damaged during the French revolution, and restored in the 19th century, it retains one of the most extensive in-situ collections of 13th-century stained glass anywhere in the world.
