Zoë Van Tieghem's cabaret, "Spring Fling" returns to The Green Room 42 for one more romance before that summer heat sets in. Van Tieghem will caress you with a curated playlist of cabaret standards, and jazz favorites alongside pianist Matt Baker on Friday, May 26th at 7 pm.

"What we are talking about here is one of the most beautiful women you are ever going to look at in person with one of the most beautiful voices you are ever going to hear, live or otherwise. It's like someone took Ava Gardner, Sharon Tate, and Madeleine Stowe threw in the voice of a siren, mixed and baked 'til the timer went off, and there was Zoë Van Tieghem." (Broadway World).

Hell's Kitchen native Zoë Van Tieghem is the daughter of award-winning percussionist and composer David Van Tieghem. Van Tieghem's soprano voice will take you on a nostalgic journey of a spring fling, complete with romance and heartbreak. With classics from Burt Bacharach and Oscar Levant along with other cabaret standards, the audience will listen to Van Tieghem sing ballads that depict the arc of a short-lived love affair. Matt Baker's jazz arrangements will underscore the tinkling hope of spring as the daffodils push through to the surprising onslaught of the crushing rain. The evening will be peppered with anecdotes of love, however short-lived, and the optimism of a warm summer soon to come.

Van Tieghem has performed shows at Feinstein's 54/Below, The Duplex, Don't Tell Mama and a sold-out show at Birdland Theatre. Her vocal talents were recently nominated for a Broadway World Cabaret Award. Broadway World additionally writes,

"There are times when the experience of listening to Zoë Van Tieghem sing is surprising, sometimes really surprising" and that her rendition of "Some Other Time" with Matt Baker is, "so pretty... as to melt the heart."
