Salle Darien Vanves
Yoko Kaneko will perform a programme dedicated to Debussy, Ravel and Fauré alongside violonist Xavier Julien-Lafferière ("Les Caractères") on Heritage Days at Henry Darien Hall (Vanves City Hall), against the beautiful wall (1904) and ceiling (1912-1915) backdrop by painter Henry Darien.
