HARRIS THEATER

Chanteur

May 2, 2012

Award-winning recording artist Lee Lessack performs his newest concert, Chanteur. Chanteur is an homage to the Great French Songbook—from an American perspective: from Johnny Mercer to Jacques Brel, from the Broadway stage to the streets of Paris, from Frank Sinatra to Aznavour, from Leonard Cohen to Michel Legrand, from the Great White Way to the Champs-Élysées!

"His tone is remarkable; he floats phrases in a sort of half-whisper, his dusky tenor rippling with just a touch of vibrato."
—Daryl Miller, LA Times
