Maria Bill sings Edith Piaf

Performers:

Maria Bill, vocals
Michael Hornek, piano
Krzysztof Dobrek, accordion

111 years of Edith Piaf
Since the 100th anniversary of Edith Piaf\\\'s birth, Maria Bill\\\'s concerts featuring her very own Piaf programme have been a huge success. On each of these evenings, the artist has received standing ovations. Countless sold-out concerts confirm the unbroken interest of the audience.
This programme is always worth watching and listening to. Because no two evenings are the same and Maria Bill always succeeds in presenting new facets of this unique phenomenon. Towards the end of the evening, it\\\'s hard to tell whether it\\\'s Bill or Piaf on stage. And somehow you sense that Piaf is also there when her life story and story of suffering is told with so much passion, heart and empathy.
Two great musicians accompany Maria Bill throughout the evening: Michael Hornek on piano and Krzysztof Dobrek on accordion.
It is Maria Bill\\\'s great concern to bring the personality of this singer, who has entered immortality, closer to the audience from her very personal perspective. »Edith Piaf is a woman who lived passionately and extravagantly, always in search of love and recognition. It is my heartfelt desire to keep her story alive and bring it into the present day. The story of this small, great, unforgettable artist.«​​
