Guided Search: French, Children

Hear tender piano-led works from the French composer and multi-instrumentalist behind the Amélie soundtrack, performing from his new album All.

All is the first recording from Yann Tiersen's new studio, The Eskal Project, built in an abandoned discotheque on the island of Ushant, positioned between Brittany and Cornwall.

Incorporating field recordings from his Brittany home, the redwood forests of California and Tempelhof airport in Berlin, plus guest vocalists, All continues the themes explored on Tiersen's earlier album EUSA.

A chance encounter on a winter night changes everything for Mimì and Rodolfo, sending them into a deep, passionate whirlwind in the heart of Paris, living among other young bohemians who are making art and falling in love. This popular revival of Puccini’s romantic blockbuster features sets inspired and enlivened by Impressionist masterpieces from the Barnes Foundation and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

“One of the most important showcases for contemporary finger-stylists.” – San Fransisco Chronicle

International Guitar Night, North America’s premier mobile guitar festival, has featured the best performing guitar composers from around the world since 1995. Each tour, IGN founder Brian Gore invites a new cast of guitar luminaries to join him for special evenings of solos, duets and quartets that highlight the virtuosity and diversity within the world of acoustic guitar. Since the beginning, audiences have cherished the friendly informal ambiance of the performances. Participants have relished the chance IGN affords to express reverence for one another, and to collaborate rather than compete with one another.

Twenty years ago, a small group dreamed of reconstructing an exact replica of General Lafayette’s 18th-century ship called the Hermione. Today, the majestic vessel is the largest and most authentically built Tall Ship in the last 150 years.

Adding excitement to a waterfront that is already bubbling with activity, Tall Ships® Philadelphia-Camden is slated to bring majestic vessels up the Delaware River in early summer on June 25-28. Tall Ships® Philadelphia-Camden has the distinction of being the largest sailing event in the United States in 2015.
