Babylon Burlesque Orchestra brings a flamboyant evening of music spanning a century of hits, from 1920s charleston and tango to swing, cha cha cha and disco. The show is built around the idea that old hits sound new and new hits sound old, so familiar tunes turn up in unexpected shapes.
Fronted by singer Channe Nussbaum, known as the Danish queen of klezmer music, the band is joined by Mette Smidl on violin, Jens Tolsgaard on harmonica and banjo, pianist Marie Nitchsky Schmidt, multi-instrumentalist Hans Find Møller and Chano Olsker on drums.
Expect a playful ride through a century of popular music, including Tango Jalousie, the Danish hit celebrating its 100th year, and songs by Abba and Scarlet Pleasures. Dancing shoes are recommended.
