"Songs for a Weary World" by pavia

Join us for a delightful evening of cabaret!  If you love the music of the late chanteuse Edith Piaf and her contemporaries, mark your calendar for Wednesday, August 14, 2024 at 6 p.m. for a music by Pavia at the Unitarian Universalist Meeting House in Chatham. The mononymous singer Pavia, accompanying herself on accordion, will be performing "Songs for a Weary World" -- the music of Edith Piaf, Kurt Weill, Lotte Lenya, and Ruth Etting, a little Jacques Brel, and a few songs that Pavia has written herself.

Pavia has been called "the Piaf of Provincetown" by The Banner. Her performances in intimate cabaret settings and large auditoriums alike have delighted her audiences. Pavia will take us through the 1920s, ‘30s, and ‘40s and from Berlin to Paris to Mexico capturing the authenticity and excitement of these bygone styles and eras.
