Marie-Claire Giraud: From Harlem to Hollywood
April 6, 2025
“Marie-Claire is a very versatile and magnetic singer…”- John Harbison, Pulitzer Prize Winning Composer
Join Marie-Claire Giraud at 54 Below as she musically embraces The Great American Songbook with finesse and ardent persuasion. Singing music from some of the most influential artists ranging from Duke Ellington to Irving Berlin, she’ll transport you to a time when the affluent walked up and down Park Avenue, stomped at The Savoy, and when the world watched as Fred and Ginger glided across marble dance floors under a night sky filled with stars. Accompanied by Matt Baker, Australian born jazz pianist, band leader, and music director along with Paul Gill on bass, Skye Hamilton-Carranza on saxophone, and Pete Van Nostrand on drums, be prepared for a joyous night full of songs from the Golden Age of Hollywood; from the movies that made them famous and the composers who made them great!
Marie-Claire Giraud is a soprano, jazz singer, songwriter, composer, playwright, and actor. Born on the island of Dominica and raised in the Bronx, Marie-Claire started her operatic training in Rome, Italy. The pandemic afforded her the luxury of time to reflect, allowing her the space to overcome obstacles that were blocking her creative path. With her creativity freed, she wrote her first musical and discovered her true soprano voice.
Marie-Claire’s performances include: the New York Symphony Orchestra, the United Nations 70th Anniversary, the Arc of Return Inaugurations Concert-United Nations, Black History Month Celebration Concert NYC-City Hall, the New York City Opera Company-Carnegie Hall, the Brooklyn Nets NBA-National Anthem-Barclays Center, and the New York Islanders NHL-National Anthem, Barclays Center.
