In this soirée, Haan celebrates the songs depicting Berlin during the 1920's: a time of change, challenge, experiments and when traditions went down the drain. With the first World War lost and the Kaiser in exile, Germany began to experiment with a new form of government: the Weimar Republic was born and with it a nation longing for latitude. Come and celebrate the Golden Age, the dance on the volcano between the two World Wars, a time of creativity, art, music and culture, the women's movement, and gay liberation. Haan re-lives this bodacious period probing the ties between feminist struggle and female glamour, taking you on an enchanting musical voyage through history.

"An all-round entertainer of the highest calibre," award-winning Adrienne Haan is one of Europe's and America's most electrifying stars. With a diverse repertoire that ranges from chanson to jazz, blues, klezmer and Broadway, Haan has a passion for the music of the 1920s and 30s. She received a standing ovation for her Carnegie Hall debut in Tehorah in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Israeli-German diplomatic relations. This fall Haan appeared at New York's Metropolitan Room in a performance dedicated to the music of Kurt Weill to an enthusiastic full house. The show was praised as "a moving performance where Haan establishes a close rapport with the audience through her informative, funny, and often moving commentary between sets." Recent engagements include appearances at the Neue Galerie's Café Sabarsky, the Santa Fe Jewish Film Festival, a performance at DC's Washington Opera Ball and New York's National Arts Club. Her programs include unique interpretation of classics from The Great American Songbook in Till the End of Time, Cabaret Francais, featuring classics by Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel, Kurt Weill and Walter Jurmann, and TransAtlantica, a celebration of the most loved songs from both sides of the Atlantic.
