Christmas with Charlotte Haesen

As a true storyteller, singer Charlotte Haesen brings the chanson to life, so that even listeners who do not speak French can effortlessly grasp the essence of the song. For this special Christmas concert, she and the string players of the Tobalita Quartet will perform a magnificent repertoire of the most beautiful French-language winter classics by personalities such as Barbara, Brel, Gainsbourg, Brassens and Piaf. These chansons are about the joy and love that human connection brings.

It has been almost 10 years since viola player Odile Torenbeek accidentally discovered singer Charlotte Haesen at the Noordermarkt in Amsterdam. Odile and Charlotte then decided to create a chansons program with the string quartet as a basis. Renowned arrangers such as Paul Prenen, Wijnand van Klaveren, Mascha van Nieuwkerk and Oene van Geel were involved, who managed to 'drape' the chanson around Charlotte's voice in a special way.

Then Café des Chansons develops: Charlotte Haesen plus 4 musicians from the Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra. 3 albums later, the voice of Charlotte Haesen and the strings of the Tobalita quartet still take you on a moving journey through time.
