“From Paris to Göttingen - once upon a time there was a black piano” is the moving biography of the French-Jewish singer Barbara (real name Monique Cerf, 1930-1997). Barbara is especially revered in Göttingen for her homage to the city in 1964. A musical journey from Paris through Brussels to Göttingen, featuring Barbara's own songs and repertoire (including Piaf, Brel, Moustaki) from the second half of the 20th century. The chanson reading, directed by Catherine Le Ray, is based on Barbara's extraordinary autobiography, one of France's most cult singers alongside Piaf and Gréco. Barbara wrote the song "Göttingen" for reconciliation between France and Germany. Her chansons, partly brilliantly translated into German by Walter Brandin, will be interpreted by Catherine Le Ray in both languages. The Parisian singer and her virtuoso accordionist Frédéric Langlais provide a phenomenal chanson evening: www.catherine-leray.com Frédéric Langlais not only became the French accordion champion in 1993 but also the youngest accordion world champion the following year in 1994 at just 16 years old. www.fredlanglais.com The press writes: "Catherine Le Ray possesses the grandeur of an opera diva, combined with the coquetry of a variety artist...a wonderfully expressive voice, rich in substance and vibrato..."
