A delegation of a dozen cabaret singers, led by Hommel, Doyle and Victoria will travel to Paris for the three-day conference. A limited number of spots are available for singers and auditors to join the group.

They'll be met in Paris by grande dame of cabaret Marie-Thérèse Orain, pianist Jean-Claude Orfali of the storied Montmartre cabaret Au Lapin Agile, author-historian Michel Trihoreau, editor and singer Christian Stalla, actor-singers Mylène Launay and Nathalie Joly, among many other cabaret artists.
