They will be playing music of the kind made popular in the 1930s by Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli, performed in their own inimitable style.
The band is led by one of the world’s foremost jazz harpists, Ben Creighton Griffiths from Cardiff, together with New York’s premier jazz violinist, Adrien Chevalier – hence the “transatlantic” moniker.
They play extensively in America and Europe and this is a rare opportunity to hear them in the UK in the beautiful surroundings of Elsing Hall.
Playing alongside Ben and Adrien will be Ashley John Long from Cardiff on double bass and Corsican accordionist Jeremy Lohier.
The performance is in the walled garden at Elsing Hall, so please bring you own blankets/chairs and you are welcome to bring a picnic.
