Alumni Live in Concert To Celebrate Rémy Loumbrozo's Career
Wednesday, June 8 | 6:30pm | Free
Register here
At the Lycée Français de New York, music is a living tradition carried from one generation to the next by the musician and teacher Rémy Loumbrozo. Rémy has accompanied every Secondary student at the Lycée for the past 42 years. As he will retire from the Lycée at the end of this school year, we have asked his former student musicians to come and pay tribute to the maëstro. Headlined by singer Yamée Couture, who is currently preparing her first album and often performs as the opening act for her father CharlÉlie, musicians, singers and dancers come together to imagine an eclectic and moving concert whose only requirement, in homage to their teacher, is the quality.

Why Forests Are So Important
Panel Talk | Tuesday, April 26 | 6.30pmRead MoreWith JOE BAKER, member of the Delaware Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma and and co-founder executive director of Lenape Center in Manhattan, CHARLES McNEILL, Senior Advisor, Forests & Climate at UN Environment Programme (UNEP), PASCALE D'ERM, author and director of Natura, and MARY BETH GALLAGHER, Director of Engagement at Domini.
In this panel, we will underline the role of forests and trees in our survival by listening to different voices. Trees surround us and we take them for granted when really they are of utmost importance and in danger. We will not solve the problems of deforestation during this panel but raise our awareness on this issue. Our guests will emphasize the reasons why trees are vital from a physical, ecological, and economic point of view, and the importance of preserving them.
