Le Châtelet fait son jazz: dates and programme for the 3rd edition

Created in 2023, the Châtelet fait son jazz returns for a 3rd edition at the Théâtre du Chatelet. From February 5 to 10, 2025, the theater transforms itself into a temple to jazz. What could be more logical for a venue located just a stone's throw from such emblematic Paris jazz venues as Sunset-Sunside, Baiser Salé and Le Duc des Lombards?

For five days, jazz is in the spotlight for young and old alike. The concerts at this 3rd edition will take place mainly in the theater's Grande Salle, offering top-quality acoustics to fully appreciate each performance. But that's not all: intimate aftershows are planned in the Salon Nijinski, allowing privileged encounters with the artists in a convivial atmosphere.

Highlights of the Châtelet fait son jazz program:

• February 5: Opening with singer Awa Ly, previewing her new album due in the spring, followed by the group Kolinga, led by Rébecca M'Boungou, offering a fusion of African sounds and contemporary jazz.
  

• February 6: Performance by saxophonist and singer Thomas de Pourquery, renowned for his boundless energy and exploration of the boundaries between jazz, pop and rock. citeturn0search1
