Discover the charm of French chansons! With their passionate live music, Café Bohème brings the authentic atmosphere of a Parisian café to any venue. Enjoy the warm ambiance and get carried away by their timeless music. Bienvenue chez Café Bohème!

Café Bohème is a semi-acoustic cover duo from Rijswijk (zh) with two singers and live piano accompaniment. What brings this duo together is a shared passion for art, culture and French-language music!

With a half-hour French-language act, they will surprise you with the most beautiful French chansons, from the legendary works of Édith Piaf to the contemporary hits of Stromae and Barbara Pravi.

Chansonnières Mireille Nijhuis and Saskia Hendriks are well matched and complement each other harmoniously. Their act is constantly evolving and they make optimal use of their broad background in the performing arts (including cabaret, musical theater and dance).

Since their debut performance in September 2023, they have performed on various stages and events, including:

Rijswijkse Schouwburg (small hall, supporting act).
Fotomuseum, The Hague (district meeting, Statenkwartier)
De Hallen Studios, Amsterdam (Concours de la Chanson 2024, reached the finals)
Museum Rijswijk (cultural drinks/garden party)
Jubilee party (90 years butcher Vrijenhoek)
Opening Music store Rijswijk
Health festival Delft

Café Bohème stands out for their unique two-part arrangements. Mireille's clear soprano voice perfectly matches the sophisticated French chansons, while Saskia's spirited piano playing and warm, dark vocals add a lively bohemian twist to the repertoire.

Variations in repertoire:

If desired, the French-language repertoire can also be interspersed with English-language jazz/lounge covers (see repertoire list).

The repertoire can be supplemented with some romantic piano pieces by the French composer Yann Tiersen, known from the film "Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain" (when an acoustic piano is available).

Technical facilities:

The above price variations assume the presence of a PA system (including monitors) and electric or acoustic piano from the venue itself. Café Bohème has its own microphones (Neumann KMS 104 and Shure Beta 87A).

The performances use high-quality equipment to ensure the best sound quality. They understand that not every venue is fully equipped, which is why they offer the option of bringing their own equipment. However, this involves additional logistical efforts and costs. Therefore, they charge a surcharge for providing these services.
