Flapper Swing

Concert

November 17, 2016 / 20:00

Complementing Pera Film's "Tune In!" program, Istanbul based quintet Flapper Swing will perform a concert on 17 November Thursday at Pera Café.

Flapper Swing
Flapper Swing is an Istanbul based quintet playing Django Reinhardt’s style of jazz, “Jazz Manouche”. These five musicians were brought together by their passion for taunting acoustic sounds of gypsy swing and they are focusing on 1920s and 1930s repertoire, played with authentic sound of that period. In their performances the band is striving to bring the audience an atmosphere of roaring twenties and ballroom parties, the “Golden Era” of Jazz.

Held at Pera Café, the concert is free of admissions. Space is limited, drop in.

Memory Building Memories / Memory Room / Memento Mori

Each memory tells an intimate story; each collection presents us with the reality of containing an intimate story as well. The collection is akin to a whole in which many memories and stories of the artist, the viewer, and the collector are brought together. At the heart of a collection is memory, nurtured from the past and projecting into the future.
