About Michele Choiniere
Michele Choiniere is an award-winning Smithsonian Folkways recording artist, with a radiant, compelling voice. Her music and artistry capture a delicate sensibility, overlaying a raw authenticity. Her concerts transport audiences to another time of wistful cafe-cabaret culture, with riveting rhythmic melodies or a wistful lament, which stay with you long after the concert has ended.
About Diner en Blanc
Diner en Blanc is a pop up party based on theParisian party of the same name which began in 1988 as a reunion of 100 friends wearing all white in order to distinguish guests present. This event has since grown to reach more than 15,000 people a year in 15 cities worldwide across 5 continents.
