Filip Sychra in Chanson

Early Chanson (French for Song) originated in the Middle Ages in France, where the modern, popular form of Chanson as we know it today, an expressive and extraordinary music form, also started in the 19th century. The cabarets in those days were full of Chanson. Thanks to many talented composers, writers and poets Chanson developed into a respectable music genre. The Chansonnier, the interpreter of the Chanson, puts a big accent on expression. He is something like a singing actor, bringing you the message of the lyrics (which are often almost poems) on a very emotional basis and trying to get you into the story.
The most famous and popular icons of Chanson are Yves Montand, Charles Aznavour, Jacque Brel, Edith Piaf, Juliett Greco, Gilbert Becaud, George Brassens and Fransic Cabrel.
These and other names appear in the repertoire of Filip Sychra and his ensemble, In Chanson, which specialises in authentic interpretation of the original versions of famous Chansons such as Amsterdam, Les Bonbons, Fraternité, Et maintenant, Les feuilles mort, La Bohéme, etc.
Filip Sychra In Chanson is set apart by its authentic interpretations, which take heed to the expressively theatrical element that is inherent in this genre. Thus, to a greater or lesser extent, every song turns into a dramatic story in its own right.
