Ginette
Bernard to Celebrate Bastille Day in NYC in Cabaret Double-Header
Cabaret
singer Ginette Bernard will lead Bastille Day celebrations in two
locations in New York City on Sunday, July 14th, 2002. First she will
present an outdoor performance at 5:00 pm at the Alliance Franaise
Street Festival, 60th Street & Madison Avenue, followed by an indoor
soirœe at CHEZ SUZETTE (675B Ninth Avenue, NYC - 212-974-9002 - http://www.chezsuzettenyc.com/)
at 8:30 pm.
Manhattan will hum with
the romantic melodies of Chanson Franaise as French-Canadian songbird
Ginette Bernard provides the grand finale to the Alliance Franaise's
open-air Bastille Day festivities. Ms. Bernard's musical double-header
continues with an evening performance amid the more intimate surroundings
of Chez Suzette, the popular restaurant/cabaret in the theater district
where the French national holiday will be celebrated well into the
night.
Accompanied by her four-piece
band, Ms. Bernard's program features the classic songs of France's
most revered music icons; Piaf, Dalida, Aznavour and Moustaki to name
a few. Her lively jazz inspired interpretations of French Song have
delighted New Yorkers at previous Bastille Day celebrations at the
prestigious Pierre Hotel, Tavern on the Green and La Belle Äpoque.
An accomplished opera singer as well, Ginette Bernard often reverts
to operatic form, stepping a way from the microphone to sing some
of the great mezzo-soprano arias from her repertoire such as the Habaøera
from Carmen.
A native of Quœbec, Canada,
Ginette Bernard now lives in Manhattan where she has performed at
such renowned venues as Don't Tell Mama, Danny's Skylight Room and
Duplex. Her first solo CD, "Comme Moi," is a jazz flavored tribute
to Ädith Piaf and Dalida and was warmly received by the press in her
native Quœbec as were her concert appearances at Montrœal's Place
de Arts in support of it.
