A wonderful mix of classical music, pop, jazz and musical theatre. This production is inspired by the Golden Age with stars such as Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and Cole Porter. For this daring departure from the traditional realm of classical music, Ataneres has joined forces with composer-pianist Jeroen D’hoe. American Beauty takes you back to the time of steamy and smoky American jazz clubs. Come fly with us, let’s fly let’s fly away

Jeroen has recently arranged a few popular standards from The Great American Songbook for the Flemish Radio Choir in a stylish manner and with great success. For American Beauty, he has arranged other standards for string orchestra, piano and solo singer. None other than Ibernice MacBean will sing solo. The result is even more intimate and daring than before.

Other American icons such as Charles Ives, George Gershwin and John Corigliano have also been included in the multi-faceted programme.
