Celebrate Fête des Rois with music and la galette!

Join us for a slice of Galette des Rois to kick off the new year… and maybe find la fève so you can wear la couronne ! The program will begin with a short classical recital by Jim Reilly, piano and tenor, and Béatrice Giere, piano, followed by the serving of galette des rois, authentic Breton Cidre de Rhuys, and the crowning of our roi ou reine .

This year our galettes will be prepared by the fabulous Anne of D’Argent Bakery. D’Argent Bakery is a woman-led and home-based French micro-bakery, located in the Longfellow neighborhood in South Minneapolis, MN.

The recital will include French music by Reynaldo Hahn and Adolphe Adam (including "Cantique de Noël), and a surprise solstice piece (even if a bit late for the December solstice!) written by Jim himself.

Proceeds from this event will be split between two causes; to benefit the Piano Fund of Alliance Française Mpls/St Paul, dedicated to the upkeep of our beautiful baby grand Steinway, and to benefit the general programs and operations of AFMSP in our new home.
