PARISIAN SOIRÉE CABARET

The Alliance Française de Chicago transformed one of Chicago’s most elegant private clubs into a dazzling Parisian escape with its “Soirée Cabaret”—a vibrant fundraising event celebrating the rich diversity of the Francophone world. Guests were treated to an evening of cabaret-style musical performances that transported them to the heart of Paris. Under the direction of Elizabeth Doyle, the program featured Gabrielle Goudard, Sam Dubin, Greta Pope, Ann Tomey, and Evan Bravos, who were accompanied by a talented ensemble of musicians. Proceeds from the evening support the Alliance’s cultural programming and fund educational opportunities through its outreach initiative, the Étoile Scholars program. As Chicago’s oldest cultural institution, the Alliance Française de Chicago offers a rich array of experiences—from French cinema and culinary workshops to art exhibits, lectures, and wine tastings. af-chicago.org/
