About the Event
Imagine. Frank Sinatra and Charles Aznavour sharing the stage, performing their greatest hits. Montreal crooner, on the 5th of February 2023, Matt Mardini and his 14 piece band will bring audiences as close as possible to living that impossible fantasy.
As surprising as it may sound, no crooner has ever performed such a tribute to the two giants of American and French music in a single live show, in French and English. Mardini’s motivation for doing so goes beyond the obvious. “I worship Sinatra and Aznavour. Their songs are the cornerstones of my repertoire, but there’s a more personal reason for bringing their music together,” explained Mardini. “Aznavour and Sinatra were both children of immigrants, Armenian and Italian respectively. For an immigrant artist like myself, there is no bigger inspiration. It is an honor to keep their memory and songs alive.”
Mardini hails from Syria. Before making Montreal his home, he honed his craft in small and large venues, TV shows, and private events in the Middle East, Europe, the US, and Canada. His repertoire includes some of the most beautiful songs of all-time. On stage, he switches seamlessly between English, French, Spanish, Italian, Armenian, and Arabic lyrics.
This spectacle showcases Mardini’s own presentation of his favorite Sinatra and Aznavour hits. “It will be impossible not to sing along,” promised Mardini. “Whether you’re a better singer in French orEnglish, it doesn’t matter. This is a show where everyone’s memories will come alive, and everyone will find joy.”
