Gerard Alderliefste & Friends

Imagine yourself on a village square in France where Gerard Alderliefste celebrates the French chanson with friends and with you. Enjoy, sing along and be surprised by the eight-member musical company. An evening full of special musical encounters and beautiful stories from their now third episode of Une Belle Histoire.

In recent seasons Gerard conquered the theaters with seven enthusiastic musical friends. They stole the hearts of their audience with the cheerful atmosphere of a fête du village, one of those classic French village festivals, where many well-known hits pass by. And now they are back with épisode 3, in which under the warm French sounds of accordion and violin, among others, you will be taken through the joie de vivre and through the love of music and of the French language.

The alliance between Gerard and his timeless favorite song is strong. Michel Fugain & Le big bazar's 1972 hit is actually something of a common thread in his career. From birthday parties as a boy at home, to evenings at Gelredome with Paul de Leeuw in front of 30,000 people, from living room concerts to the countless theaters, the song is always a highlight there.

No, not much has changed since those early years: non, non, rien n'a changé. So that song will not be missing from Une Belle Histoire. Nor will Julien Clerc and the swinging "Elle voulait qu'on l'appelle Venise," either. Furthermore, you can look forward to Gerard's own work and renditions by the singers of Lara Fabian and Barbara Pravi, among others.
