Serious

The culinary traditions of France lie at the very heart of the country's culture, and la cuisine Normande is a regional treasure - so it's only natural, with a Gallic theme running through the Festival, that we should host a tasty fusion of food and music.

One of Normandy's leading chefs, Ivan Vautier, creates a menu in front of the audience, with the sounds and aromas of this gourmet maestro echoed by the improvisations of Andy Sheppard and percussionist Michele Rabbia - a multisensory experience first performed at the Jazz sous les Pommiers Festival and supported by Isigny Ste Mere.

Approx. 60 mins.
