Players: Hans Pieter Herman, vocals; Brian Holman, piano, musical director; Ira Siff, director. Material: In his brand-new cabaret offering, “The Singing Fool,” life, travels, and troubles of Charles Trenet, Han Pieter Herman chronicles the artist’s life with reverence and humor expressed not only through Trenet’s compositions, but songs by other songwriters that are relevant at various junctures in his life. Herman became enamored of Trenet after winning the Alliance Francaise song competition in 2010 with his performance of “I Wish You Love.” There are also songs by Jacques Brel, Johnny Hess (one-time duo partner of Trenet’s), Franz Liszt, Kurt Weill, and George Winters, to name a few.
