Stephane invites you to an intimate evening of music, wine and community at the Thalia Bar at Symphony Space on Tuesday, March 25th to support his Django à Gogo Music Festival & Guitar Camp.
Since 2003, this annual festival celebrating the unparalleled musical legacy of jazz guitarist and composer Django Reinhardt has united some of the world's most exceptional musicians to honor the timeless essence of Sinti guitar style. Django à Gogo brings together world-class musicians from France, Canada, the U.S., and beyond for four unique concerts, reinterpreting and evolving Reinhardt’s repertoire through improvisation and cross-cultural collaboration. Django á Gogo also offers a "Guitar Camp," a 5-day immersive series of workshops, instructional classes, and jam sessions led by Stephane and the esteemed performers at the festival.
Given the remarkable nature of Django à Gogo—and the significant costs of bringing the world’s greatest European players to the stage—financial support is essential. Funds raised will help cover costs such as artist visas, plane tickets, hotels and venue rentals, ensuring Django à Gogo delivers at the highest level of exceptionalism.
At this gallant event, the evening’s music will transport you with a rich blend of Impressionist melodies, traditional French musette, classic Gypsy tunes, and Django Reinhardt’s signature fiery swing—infused with hints of Tango, Jobim, and New Orleans flair.
As a special thank-you, attendees will receive an exclusive, limited-edition recording, available only at this event.
Tickets are $200 plus fees and very limited so secure your spot now.
