In late November, the Ristretto Voices choir will present Handel’s Messiah at Saint Paul’s Church in Monaco.

On Saturday 23rd November, the Ristretto Voices choir, a vocal and instrumental ensemble based in the Alpes-Maritimes and known for its moving renditions of classical works, will be performing Handel’s Messiah at the church on Monaco’s Avenue de Grande-Bretagne.

Among those set to perform are soprano Elenor Bowers-Jolley, countertenor Clint van der Linde, tenor Andrew Gavin and bass Thomas Dear.

Messiah is an oratorio that tells the story of the life of Jesus Christ, from the prophecy of His birth through to His resurrection, and features powerful and uplifting music that has made it a beloved classic in the choral repertoire.

Tickets for the concert are €30 each. They can be purchased online by clicking here. They can also be picked up at Fnac, located on the ground floor of Metropole Shopping Centre, or at the venue on the day of the concert.

For additional information, contact the organisers by telephone on +33 (0)6 83 53 23 50 or by email: ristrettovoices06@gmail.com.

La Note Bleue, the live music venue and restaurant on Larvotto Beach, will host JB Moundele and a trio of musicians from across the Riviera for a night of jazz and African-inspired rhythms in mid-November.

At 8pm on Wednesday 13th November, JB Moundele and three fellow musicians will be performing tracks from the saxophonist’s Afrotrane project, which is a blend of traditional African music and John Coltrane-inspired jazz.

Moundele, who has roots in the south of France and the Ivory Coast, has enjoyed a long career that includes over 20 years with Tiken Jah Fakoly, a prominent figure in reggae music. He will be joined at La Note Bleue by Robert Persi on piano, Jean-Marc Jafet on bass and Jean-Luc Dana on drums and percussion.

Afrotrane reflects Moundele’s diverse musical influences and showcases a synthesis of African traditions and jazz improvisation that resonates with audiences familiar with both genres.
