She frequently explores themes of identity, history, and the human condition within her performances. Salvant has received numerous awards including multiple Grammy nominations and wins for Best Jazz Vocal Album.

The Théâtre des Champs-Elysées holds significant cultural importance in Paris. Opened in 1913, it was envisioned as a venue dedicated to showcasing modern art forms – music, dance and theatre – countering the more traditional offerings of the Opéra Garnier and Opéra Comique. Its Art Deco architecture and exceptional acoustics quickly established it as a premier performance space. Throughout its history, it has hosted leading figures in classical music, opera, ballet and jazz. The theatre was instrumental in the premiere of Stravinsky’s *The Rite of Spring*, an event famously met with audience uproar but now considered a landmark moment in musical history.
