Experience France at MIM, July 9 and 10

Say bonjour to fun for the whole family on July 9 and 10

Celebrate Bastille Day early during Experience France, MIM’s fifth annual celebration of French music and culture on Saturday, July 9, and Sunday, July 10. Guests can enjoy French music through a variety of live performances. French singer-songwriter Cécile Hortensia, along with her band, will bring the music of the “City of Light” to MIM. Chamber musicians Drew Quiring and Jenna Daum will perform works for piano and flute by French composers Mélanie Bonis and Gabriel Pierné. And the Arizona band ZAZU promises a performance worthy of a 1930s Parisian nightclub. Other activities include facepainting, a make-your-own saxhorn craft, and a discussion of global impacts on French music by Drew Quiring, ASU Doctor of Musical Arts student. MIM’s special photo booth with costumes and props and family-friendly presentations by MIM’s Story Time Band will add to the fun. A delicious menu of French-inspired cuisine and French wines carefully selected for this weekend will be available for purchase at Café Allegro. And the Museum Store will feature a wonderful selection of French CDs, books, and gifts. Experience France is included with paid museum admission and free for members.
