Ces Chansons qui nous Enchantent!

Amid these French gems, unexpected Dutch songs—which trace their origins to the French repertoire—sometimes resound, blending memories and surprises.

Let yourself be carried away and discover just how close France can sound at times.

Featuring chansons by icons such as Édith Piaf,
Gilbert Bécaud, Jean Ferrat, Yves Montand, Jacques Brel, Georges Brassens, Adamo, Charles Aznavour, Sergio Reggiano, and many others, this program exudes pure charm, nostalgia, and melancholic longing.

“Enchanté”! is ideal for an intimate setting—moments when music isn’t just heard, but feels like a memory coming back.

It’s especially suited for living room concerts, music cafés, private parties, high tea, French-themed evenings, wine tastings, and garden parties, but is also perfect for a lovely and lively musical afternoon for seniors, the elderly, and care facilities.

Who is Hans?
I’m a singer-guitarist and entertainer.
Every chanson, every song, every tune is a story in itself.
In fact, I’m a musical storyteller!

I have over 40 years of experience with various genres of music, including jazz, Dixieland, and dinner music, as well as party music at large weddings and celebrations.

From a very young age, I’ve also been deeply involved with romantic ballads, close harmony, cabaret, and theater.
And singing… I’ve been doing that my whole life!
I’m a true nostalgic troubadour!
(“Maybe I was born too late…”)!
You could certainly say that performing and entertaining are in my blood, and I still do this with great passion and joy!
