Philippe Elan & Gregor Bak: Chansons!

Ode to French chansons

The French chanson is more popular than ever in the Netherlands! That is why it should not be missing from Het Concertgebouw's summer programming. Chansonnier Philippe Elan pays tribute to French song with the most beautiful chansons by greats such as Jacques Brel, Charles Aznavour, Edith Piaf, Jean Ferrat, and Yves Duteil.
