Messages – Messages from Brel, Barbara, Stromae and others - An Evening of Chanson with Natanaël Lienhard and Jacob Bussmann

Description

An evening of chanson with Natanaël Lienhard and Jacob Bussmann. Messages are a curious and precise engagement with French-language chansons from the past and present, not a nostalgic glorification of a historically established genre. The focus is on around 20 titles by Charles Trenet and Jacques Brel, Francoise Hardy and Barbara, up to Carla Bruni and Stromae. Thus, the evening not only traces the evolution of musical material but also explores the stories of the songs, their interpreters, and the contexts of their creation. The chansons are heard as messages from the past – they reveal societal orders, moods, desires, and are open to being understood differently today.
