The French Horn Collective

The roaring 20s are here again with the razzle-dazzle of the French Horn Collective. Led by Parisian native Vincent Raffard, the group delivers a spectacular concoction of old school Paris jazz and original music mixed with influences from New Orleans, Gypsy jazz, and a dash of Miami, of course.

PERFORMER BIO:
The French Horn Collective is an ensemble led by Vincent Raffard on the Trumpet, Guitar and
