Program
Program “Here & There” is the new program by Ethel Merhaut and her ensemble—a journey into the shimmering 1920s and 1930s, steeped in longing for love, home, intoxication, and friendship. Chansons, couplets, and café songs glow anew, at times frivolous and light-hearted, at others filled with loneliness and pain. With virtuosity, the musicians weave the styles into their own sonic world, while Ethel Merhaut—full of charm, wit, and a powerful voice—moves effortlessly between whispered chanson and bold expression. An evening full of joy in life and confidence.
