Step into a world of timeless romance and glamour with Torch Songs & Deco Dreams.

From the smoky cafés of Paris to the sparkling dance halls of the South America, this evening’s program takes you on a musical journey through the jazz-infused elegance of the Roaring ’20s to the opulent Art Deco era.

Renowned mezzo-soprano Julie Nesrallah brings to life the smoldering torch songs of the 1920s through the crooning 1950s, reimagined with lush classical chamber arrangements. An 11-piece Chamberfest ensemble provides a rich sonic backdrop, while our beloved Chamberfriends the Gryphon Trio and pianist Katherine Dowling enrich the evening with cameo performances.

Experience a golden age of chamber music through one-of-a-kind arrangements and seldom-performed French repertoire, blending vintage allure with classic sophistication.
