BIRD LIVES! That’s what was written on the walls and sidewalks of New York the day after Charlie Parker’s passing. Five years before taking flight, the greatest bird of jazz recorded his biggest success—the double album Charlie Parker With Strings. And who better than the master of jazz-classical crossovers to craft an entire evening around this legendary repertoire?

Edouard Pennes has gathered his finest musicians to take us on a journey through history for one unforgettable concert. Stepping into the role of Charlie Parker is one of today’s most talented saxophonists, Giacomo Smith, joined by Bastien Brison on piano and David Paycha on drums—all beautifully elevated by the strings of the Quatuor Hanson.
