Aqua Sapone

Singer-songwriter quintet & strings
The formation Aqua Sapone, water and soap, is a young jazz quintet and a string quartet that performs the own compositions of Vivienne. The lyrics, music and arrangements are made by Vivienne and give a little ‘singer songwriter’ effect.

The listener will hear interesting grooves, cozy ambiances and touching stories. There is also a beamer presentation with photographs and drawings matching the tunes, made by friends.

Jazz combo

With a trio (guitar, double bass & voice), a quartet (guitar, piano, drums, double bass & voice) and solo (piano & voice) Vivienne sings jazz songs in the tradition of the American Songbook with different combo's. Tunes in their repertoire are for example Whisper not, Autumn Leaves, You must believe in spring, Fly me to the moon and Moondance. We also play our own tunes and a little pop.

Vuo

Double bass and voice - This is the perfect combination of low and high, soft and loud & big and small. In this Duo, Vivienne is accompanied only by a Double Bass, which gives a very intimate effect. Furthermore is the sound easy listening jazz and very romantic. Ideal for a romantic dinner or another small occasion.

Big bands

Vivienne has been the vocalist (and stand-in conductor) of the Fly Over Big band in Voorburg. She was guest singer with the Amstel Big band. She still is stand-in singer and piano player of the Nic's Big band from Zoetermeer. www.nicsbigband.nl.
