In celebration of Edith Piaf’s 109th birthday, SonoMusette will be performing a concert featuring the songs of Edith Piaf and other iconic performers from mid 1900s Paris. From her beginnings as a child singing on the streets of Paris to becoming an international star, Edith Piaf is undoubtedly the voice of French music. Much of Piaf’s music resonated with her own personal life as she specialized in Chanson and Torch Songs about love, loss, and sorrow. Lovingly known as “The Little Sparrow” Piaf ascended beyond the skies of Paris to World-Wide fame through timeless classics such as Padam, Milord, L’Accordéoniste, and La Vie En Rose. SonoMusette will also perform selections made famous by other famous performers of the era including Jacques Brel, Yves Montand, Serge Gainsbourg, Charles Trenet, Georges Brassens, and others. SonoMusette, featuring native Parisian singer Mimi Pirard, transports us back to mid-1900s Paris through the evocative songs of the “Golden Era” era of French chanson. This is the Paris that still lives for many of us in our memories… and in our imaginations. Mimi Pirard’s powerful and emotional interpretations of these classic songs provide a freshness and excitement that is faithful to the spirit and tradition of the original versions. The formidable musicians of SonoMusette weave musette accordion, piano, guitar, upright bass, and drums to create a musical tapestry for these enchanting songs and melodies. Close you eyes…… and be transported to the heart of Paris. Mimi Pirard – vocals Robert Lunceford – accordion Jan Martinelli – upright bass & piano Isaac Vandeveer – guitar & bass Kendrick Freeman – drums
