UpClose is our eclectic series of laid-back concerts in some of the city&s most interesting and unique venues, shining a light on hidden gems, both in terms of the music and the venues themselves. Relax and unwind with a drink and enjoy an eclectic blend of classical and contemporary music at close quarters.

With the rise of Nazism and Hitler&s Chancellorship in 1933, many musicians, artists and composers left Germany spreading their influence around the globe. This programme delves into the world of Berlin cabaret and political theatre between 1900-1933 and then beyond. Versatile soprano Mary Carewe joins Camerata principal players in a darkly entertaining programme featuring songs by Schoenberg, Zemlinksy, Spoliansky, Weill, Eisler, Hollaender and Gershwin, including ‘Falling in love again&, ‘Mack the Knife&, ‘Chuck out the men&, ‘Alone in a Big City& and many more.

‘Mary Carewe, whose voice travels effortlessly from contemporary classical to Broadway and Hollywood, has a sweet-toned soprano with a dash of lemon and spice.& The Times
