Chandor Gardens Foundation

The focus of the Chandor Gardens Foundation is to preserve the heritage of the Gardens and work with the City of Weatherford to further develop the Chandor property, in keeping with Douglas Chandor's artistic vision.

Douglas Chandor was one of the great portrait artists of the 20th Century.  Five of his paintings are on display in the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery.  His portrait of Eleanor Roosevelt is displayed in the White House, and his coronation portrait of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, graces the British Embassy in Washington, DC.

His passion for gardening and his artistry intertwined to be beautifully expressed in the gardens he created and named White Shadows. After the untimely death of Douglas in 1953, his wife, Ina, paid tribute to him by changing the name to Chandor Gardens.

Today, Chandor Gardens is a destination unto itself. It is the location of joyous events, memory-making occasions, and pleasant wanderings.

Chandor Gardens Foundation Inc. is pleased to present Le Not-So-Hot Klub du Denton, performing a Django Reinhardt inspired Gypsy Jazz concert, in the courtyard of the beautiful Chandor Gardens, Weatherford, Texas on September 10, 2022.

Le Not-So-Hot Klub du Denton was founded in 2004 in Denton, Texas, as a "loose collective of musicians wanting to preserve, protect, and defend the right to play Django Reinhardt style music together". The group specializes in acoustically-oriented, high energy, classic Gypsy Jazz swing ---namely anything Django Reinhardt would've played---and anything that is FUN music!

Tickets - $30 (wine and bottled water included in ticket price)

Doors open at 6:30 P.M. - Show starts at 7:00 P.M.

[Note: If the weather is inclement the concert will be moved indoors to the Great Room of the Chandor mansion.]
