Sylphe - Pure Piaf

Description

Milord, Padam Padam, Je ne regrette rien, L’accordéoniste... They are unforgettable, the songs of the unique Edith Piaf. For her portrayal in SPATZ UND ENGEL, Sylphe received the audience award for the most popular actress at the Gandersheim Cathedral Festival (DE). After many successes before enthusiastic and touched audiences, the certified opera singer and musical performer Sylphe (Sylvia Heckendorn) and Christian Müller on piano tour Switzerland with their emotionally charged interpretations of Piaf's songs. Sylphe tells the audience about the stories in the songs and reports from the life of the chanteuse. Christian Müller creates transporting emotional and atmospheric worlds with his sensitive playing. Sylphe touches because she is open, vulnerable, and authentic. Her voice and expression are of powerful beauty and gripping intensity that leaves no skin smooth and no heart unmoved. A discovery. Sylvia Heckendorn Sylphe, certified opera singer, gym teacher, and speaker, began her musical career in 2013 at the Walensee stage as Stauffacherin in Tell and appeared in 2022 as Lilly in Io Senza Te and in 2023 as Margrith Geiser on the Thunerseebühne. In 2019, she received the audience award for her portrayal of Edith Piaf in Spatz und Engel in Bad Gandersheim DE. In the Maag Halle Zurich, she also played the other main role of the same play, Marlene Dietrich, and gave a guest performance at the Stadttheater Ingolstadt in January 2024. In 2024, she was seen as Marie Dindon in La Cage aux Folles at the Stadttheater Bern. She regularly brings her three own chanson concert programs to the stage, including in Herzbaracke ZH and Tabourettli BS, and can be booked for events. Christian Müller (piano accompaniment) studied flute at the Basel Music Academy with Felix Renggli (1996-1999). Besides his passion for the flute, he has always been interested in piano playing, which he taught himself from a young age. His broad musical interest led him to deepen his knowledge in other music styles besides classical music. For years, he has been the bandleader of the "Moody Tunes," a music formation with variable line-up and a broad repertoire. He discovered the wonderful world of chansons mainly together with singer Sylphe, whom he has accompanied on piano for many years.
