PRESS RELEASE:
Tryon Fine Arts Center opens the 2016-2017 Main Stage Season with The Hot Club of San Francisco’s exciting performance, Cinema Vivant.
October 1st at 8:00pm the community will have the opportunity to experience The Hot Club of San Francisco present their uniqueshow Cinema Vivant at Tryon Fine Arts Center. Cinema Vivant combines vintage silent films with live Gypsy Swing music for an unforgettable evening.
Featuring the silken violin of twice GRAMMY® Award-winning Evan Price, the velvet vocals of Isabelle Fontaine, and a swinging rhythm section, the group never fails to surprise and delight.
To hear the ensemble live or on any of their 13 albums is to be carried back to the tight, smoky jazz clubs of 1930’s Paris and to the refined lounge of the famous Hotel Ritz. Often called Gypsy jazz, the music of The Hot Club of San Francisco has entranced audiences around the globe for over 25 years. Acoustic Guitar has hailed the group’s playing as “intricate, scorching and often brilliant.” With frequent national and international tours—from Iceland to Lincoln Center and the Monterey Jazz Festival—The Hot Club of San Francisco keeps this historic music fresh and alive.
The Hot Club of San Francisco is “…one of the most cohesive and entertaining Gypsy swing bands in the United States” said San Francisco Chronicle.
The Hot Club of San Francisco will present Cinema Vivant for one evening only at TFAC. Tickets are $35 each, and will be available on September 10 at tryonarts.org or by calling 828.859.8322. Season tickets are available August 15.
