Our concerts can be tailored to either an English or a French audience.

"Projet Brassens does to Georges Brassens' work what all good jazz does to its material: it treats it with respect, but it also makes it new."
Jack Foley, The Alsop Review, USA

In addition to our Brassens repertoire we offer an alternative French program: Max's French Café Music. Songs by Edith Piaf, Charles Trenet & Jacques Brel, alongside French instrumental music including musettes, waltzes, javas & jazz.

 

Brassens news

August 2015
Ramón García Toga has launched Georges Brassens en castillano featuring Brassens' lyrics in Spanish; translated by Ramón for singing.

There is lots of information, in Spanish, about Brassens and a bonus of Brassens' original lyrics in French.

A very useful resource and a great place to start if you are a perfomer and would like to sing Brassens in Spanish.
