In this solo concert, Nathalie Lermitte personifies Edith Piaf without doing an impression or imitation.  Rather, Lermotte has internalized the spirit of Piaf’s specialty, the chanson réaliste – music rooted in simple, real human emotion (which, of course, is never actually simple), and made it her own. Sensitive piano and the woody sound of xylophone locate us in the smoky cabarets, but it is the accordion, alternately wistful and boisterous, that whisks us off to Mont Martre and la vie Bohème.
