Susy Firth, chanteuse anglaise, Parisian by adoption, offers us a repertoire that celebrates the fleeting beauty of life.
Accompanying herself on the piano in a musical style somewhere between jazz, chanson française and cabaret. Susy sings of love and death, ships and shadows, with the words of contemporary French authors and long dead English poets that she has set to music (Françoise Hardy, Jacques Brel, Leonard Cohen, Rupert Brooke, William Blake, W.H. Auden).
Generous and engaging with the audience, Susy takes us from laughter to tears, consoles, challenges and captivates us. There is no need to understand French to be touched by the sensual melancholy and luminous emotion of Susy’s repertoire and interpretation.
