The Great American Songbook takes you on a nostalgic road trip back to the vibrant America of the Golden Sixties. Get ready to enjoy a hefty dose of iconic songs that are deeply ingrained in our collective memory!

Every decade has its own soundtrack—one that captures not just the musical (r)evolutions but also the colors and vibes of the era. The Golden Sixties were bursting with all the hues of the rainbow, fueled by the optimism of the lively post-war period that warmed the world. Catchy tunes from Cy Coleman, Carole King and the legendary Burt Bacharach filled the airwaves, signaling the rise of a flourishing popular culture.

Just like with the first edition of the Great American Songbook, composer and 'pop professor' Jeroen D'hoe works his magic with a selection of top songs from the expansive Songbook repertoire. The result is a delightful evening filled with timeless classics like I Say a Little Prayer, A Natural Woman, and Ain't No Mountain High Enough, all presented in a fresh orchestral and vocal arrangement!
