The Vintage Project - "Masquerade"

An evening of timeless songs and nostalgic storytelling, exploring the musical styles and popular culture of the roaring twenties and the dark interwar era, up to the late fifties. Join us for an eclectic mix of international songs and get dressed in a Vintage mood. Become femμe fatales, Gentlemen in love, artists, flapper girls of 1920, Divas of the interwar period and poets.
