A tribute to Barbara and her poetic world. To a woman for whom music, love, and life
were inextricably linked.
An icon in France, but still an insider’s secret in Switzerland: Known as “la
chanteuse de minuit,” Barbara (1930–1997) left her mark on the world of French chanson with
poetic songs and her unmistakable voice. The young Zurich singer
Caroline Ferrara is dedicating an evening to her.
Hardly anyone described the aftermath more beautifully: how fleeting a feeling can be and how long it
nevertheless lingers—in a memory, in a sound, in a melody. Between darkness and
tenderness, a world full of intimacy unfolds in Barbara’s songs, permeated by subtle humor
and a quiet, enduring zest for life. For Barbara, singing was like breathing—a
necessity of life and a place of deepest expression.
Zurich-based singer Caroline Ferrara dedicates an
evening to the great French chansonnière, combining music and storytelling. In intimate arrangements for voice,
piano, and cello, Barbara’s chansons resonate in all their simplicity and intensity.
In between songs, Ferrara recounts stories from the artist’s extraordinary life, bringing the woman
behind the songs to life.
Following successful concerts in Paris and Zurich, the program is now touring
Switzerland and will also make a stop at the Theater Delly in Solothurn.
