THE FRENCH BOY SINGS - Benjamin Falletto
Brooklyn Theatre Salon Trio
23 Aug 19:00, 25 Aug 15:00

The term FRENCH CAFÉ MUSIC conjures up romantic images of places like Paris, Nice or St. Tropez. Those evergreen tunes, sung by Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel, Charles Trenet and Charles Aznavour bring about nostalgia and memories of love or maybe unrequited love.

Benjamin Faletto, a charming French crooner from Paris, is now a household name at Brooklyn Theatre as a result of his fabulous concerts and CD recording, The French Boy Sings.

This year's programme features chansons by Jacques Brel, Charles Trenet Vincent Scotto. Old favourites like C’est si bon, If we only had love, Trois petite notes de musique, I wish you love and others, will be complimented by songs you have not heard him sing yet, like Amsterdam, La Quête (To dream the impossible dream) and Parlez moi d’amour (Speak to me of love).

Benjamin will be accompanied Mart-Marie Snyman (piano) and Jurgens de Lange (bass). The inimitable Sergio Zampolli (accordion) will add just the right amount of French flavour to this fabulous concert!

Piccadilly is a silent film released in 1929 directed by E.A Dupont in which Valentine Wilmot owns a nightclub featuring dancers Mabel and Vic. After a confrontation with Wilmot, Vic quits performing at the club. When the club starts losing business, a desperate Wilmot hires former dishwasher Shosho as a dancer. She is an instant hit and forms a rapport with Wilmot, which leads to jealousy and a mysterious murder.

Have a 1920’s experience of your own with the intimacy of a live band playing alongside this film – with a twist. Expect 21st century music combined with a 90 year old silent film, as well as a few classical and jazz turns. The rare combination of modern music played on vintage instruments adds to the unpredictable and exciting nature of this film – Ronald Davey on cello, trumpet and theremin, Siobhan Lloyd-Jones on violin, Mart-Marie Snyman on piano and analogue synthesizers, and James Robb on percussion. In 2017 IMPAC commissioned the musicians to compose an original score for Piccadilly. In this re-creation of another era, although originally inspired by above mentioned genres, the musicians intentionally subvert dominant aspects of the genres to create a new sound.
