Dr Wu is a french collective of seasoned musicians coming together to celebrate the sonic legacy of one of Jazz Rock and ‘Yacht Rock’s’ most emblematic icons, Steely Dan. Led by Jean Luc Léonardon (keys, vocals) and François Bodin (guitar), the 10 piece ensemble digs into the band’s discography playing the classics but also lesser known compositions for a tightly-curated, exceptional performance paying tribute to a music giant.

The exhibition "Monaco and the Napoleon(s): lntertwined Destinies"
@www.grimaldiforum.com

The exhibition “Monaco and the Napoleon(s): lntertwined Destinies”, for the first time this summer, invites visitors to explore the strong ties that united the reigns of the two French emperors, Napoleon I and Napoleon Ill, with the Grimaldi dynasty. To recount this fascinating and little-known history-marked by grandeur, power, military exploits, and persona! relationships-the event will bring together major historical artifacts that illustrate the origins and formation of the contemporary Monegasque State.

Thanks to the collaboration of leading French and Monegasque museums, prestigious private collections and the invaluable support of the Prince’s Palace of Monaco-providing access to numerous treasures from its collections and archives-nearly 200 works of unique historical and artistic significance, many of which have rarely or never been shown to the public, will be gathered for this exhibition.
