About Little Italy: An Accordion & Voice Story
This performance is designed to be stripped back and acoustic, making it ideal for intimate settings like private gatherings, galleries, or community halls. To ensure the music sounds just right, we require a basic technical setup—two vocal microphones and instrument amplification—to be provided by your venue. We love connecting with our audience after the show, so do let us know if you would like to include a brief post-performance chat with us.
Little Italy is more than just a concert; it is a musical travelogue. In this show, we explore the stories of Italian immigrants who moved to France and the US between the late 19th and mid-20th centuries. It is a performance rooted in nostalgia, sensitivity, and a touch of playfulness.
The Performance
Our duo, featuring soprano Harmonie Deschamps and accordionist Pierre Cussac, revisits classics and folk traditions. Expect to hear original arrangements of arias by composers like Frescobaldi, Puccini, and Rossini, alongside traditional folk songs and new compositions written specifically for this program. The accordion provides a rich, texture-filled backdrop for the vocals, creating a full, evocative sound without the need for a large orchestra.

We provide a professional, self-contained artistic experience. While the performance is acoustic, we handle the musical narrative entirely. You provide the space and the basic sound equipment, and we bring the history, the music, and the atmosphere.
