Free Concert! Djangophonique presented by Sunday Afternoon Live

Djangophonique is an award winning project that delivers the infectious joy and expressive freedom that is at the heart of Django Reinhardt’s jazz manouche. With respect for the tradition and a fearless creativity that bends the conventions of the style Djangophonique is keeping the Hot Club revival alive and well. The result is a sound that’s unmistakable to fans of the music and alluring to the uninitiated—a sound that can bring the lively energy of a Parisian dance hall to the quietest listening room or captivate a buzzing festival audience with the aching nostalgia of a shimmering ballad.

Djangophonique has been described as “...the cleanest most genuine manouche jazz that can be heard in Michigan” (Local Spins)

Sunday Afternoon Live! concerts are free to the public and include a family friendly reception where patrons can meet the artists and enjoy fellowship with each other.

The mission of Sunday Afternoon Live! is to enrich the cultural life of the greater Battle Creek Community and to continue the tradition of the First Congregational Church as a patron of artistic creativity and expression. We endeavor to do this by sponsoring a series of free concerts that present musical artistry that is exciting beautiful varied and enjoyable. We will underwrite the concerts by means of donors and sponsors in order to make the concerts available to the entire community. Concerts are sponsored in part by an Arts and Humanities touring grant through a collaboration of the Michigan Humanities and the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs.
