SÉLÈNE SAINT-AIMÉ

The New Orleans Jazz Museum presents a live hour of performance featuring Sélène Saint-Aimé on Friday, June 24th, at 2pm CDT.
This program takes place inside our third floor Performance Center, listening room. Admission is free and open to the public, seating is limited and offered first come, first serve. Learn more about our program admission policy.
Sélène is a young afro-french contrabassist, singer and composer with caribbean and west african origins. Now based in Paris, France, she studied with internationally acclaimed bassists Ron Carter and Lonnie Plaxico as well as saxophonist, conceptualist Steve Coleman.
She develops her own identity traveling the world, learning about different cultures (Cuba, USA, North Africa, Spain, Italy, West Indies…)
In Greek mythology, Séléné (daughters of the Titans Hypérion and Théia) represent the goddess of the full moon. Mesmerized by the beauty of this natural satellite of the Earth, Saint-Aimé uses selenography (study of the surface and physical features of the Moon) in her compositions.
“Mare Undarum” explores, like an autobiography, the world of lunar seas. These large basaltic plains formed by ancient volcanic eruptions and meteorites impacts reveal inevitable flaws and cracks of life…
