Violinist Susannah Simmons and friends from the Orchestra of Opera North visit the streets and salons of Paris.
As they explore the rhythms of France’s iconic capital, the musical styles range from chansons capturing the essence of the city in song, through the toe-tapping rhythms of Jazz Manouche to selected works from classical composers Debussy, Poulenc and Ravel.
