This eclectic program features works by Verdi, Rachmaninov, Fauré, Bernstein, 19th century New Orleans classical composers, Benjamin’s original songs, and pop anthems. From romanticism to modern genres (including popular music, operas, operettas, art songs and traditional Hebrew folk songs), Manon delivers much of the program singing in full operatic voice but demonstrates her range of expression and subtlety of voice when singing with Benjamin. This intimate performance bathed in soft light will make for an atmospheric and evocative evening. DuoManonBen Benjamin and Manon met as students in 2010 at La Sorbonne. After some exciting recitals in Benjamin’s Paris and Manon’s Basque country the two decided to embark on a new mission: create a show that would gather Manon’s lyric voice, Benjamin’s versatile piano playing in both classical and pop music. « We thrive on the contrast, intensity, and passion that we find in these compositions. We aim to share music that electrifies our audience and offers every possible emotion on the spectrum. Ready to embark?» Recorded at the Marigny Opera House New Orleans March 2022
