On April 17, ?uestlove teamed up with Parisian star Keren Ann to present “Philly-Paris Lockdown,” a one-night celebration of 1900s Paris that took place at this year’s Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts. Keren Ann is a multi-instrumentalist, producer, engineer and songwriter with six solo albums to her credit. Her recent 101 has already attracted acclaim for its subtle intricacies and strong storytelling.

For “Philly-Paris Lockdown,” ?uestlove and Keren Ann were joined by a slew of artists to present an event awash in jazz, classical and hip-hop styles. The collaboration reworks compositions from Satie, Ravel, Debussy and Stravinsky.
