Villa Empain to the rhythm of the Roaring Twenties
An evening of music during the Art Deco Week
◇ 16 May 2025
As part of Art Deco Week, the Boghossian Foundation is pleased to invite you to a festive and musical nocturne by the pool.
For one enchanted evening, the jazz trio of Thomas Maillet (guitar), Julien Delbrouck (clarinet and soprano saxophone), and Rafaël Gouirand (guitar) will immerse us in the spirit of the Roaring Twenties, carried by the vibrant sounds of the New World. Set against the backdrop of the Villa Empain — a masterpiece of 1930s architecture — the melodies of Sidney Bechet, Duke Ellington, George Gershwin, and Django Reinhardt, the young Belgian-born gypsy virtuoso soon to shine with the legendary Hot Club de France, will resonate through the night.
This special occasion also offers the opportunity to discover the exhibition Echoes of Art Deco after hours — a refined journey into the art of living of the Jazz Age, showcasing an exceptional selection of stained glass, ceramics, textiles, posters, decorative objects, and period furniture.
