The Impérial Orphéon sounds like on one else band on the jazz scene of today. After a few songs their concert turns into an invitation to dance which you cannot resist. The four virtuosos play with a high level of complicity. They stretch their musical scope from Brazilian grooves to Balkanic trance, from Heroic pop to valse musette and bluesy songs; and the Fantome of the Opera is always ready to pop up into this joyful and bubbling fellowship. After a successful visit in 2015 the Impérial Orphéon comes back to the Baltics in March 2019 with a new album Seducere. Their tour is part of the program of the Francophonie 2019.
