Bonjour Suzanne, Bonjour!
Satie’s one and only
A tribute to composer Erik Satie’s 150th anniversary, soprano Florence Cheng and pianist Cynthia Chan create a concert that illustrates Satie’s affair with his one and only lover, Suzanne Valadon.
It was at the Chat Noir, the cabaret where Satie took a job as second pianist, he met Suzanne. Within minutes, Satie was besotted with Suzanne. He even proposed marriage to her on their first meeting, tenderly called her his “Biqui”, and composed a four-measured piece entitled “Bonjour Biqui, Bonjour!”. This affair was stormy and brief, ending after six months. Satie’s love for Suzanne is deep and intense:
“…I shall have great difficulty in regaining possession of myself, loving this little person as I have loved her …she was able to take all of me. Time will do what at this moment I cannot do…”
This concert will start with Satie’s “Bonjour Biqui, Bonjour!”, then with Satie's piano works, chanson, and Poulenc's Le Travail du peintre.
Singing in French, dialogues in English and Cantonese.
