Welcome! My name is Sophie Wegener and I am a singer. My favorite genres are Bossa nova and jazz. I sing in French, Portuguese and English. I enjoy performing live and I’d love to enrich your private event with my music. “Sophie Wegener relates to jazz in a remarkably flexible manner, lending many of her songs not only a lyrical, but also a sensual and intellectual note.” (Süddeutsche Zeitung)

Listen
Un homme et une femme
This is an arrangement of a classic 1960s movie theme. The older members of the audience get this wistful look in their eyes when they hear it – nostalgia for youth and for France, maybe?
tous les garçons et les filles
When the Brazilian guitarist Pedro Tagliani lived in Europe, he wrote this arrangement for me. The original composer, Françoise Hardy, liked it so much more than her own version. You can read her letter to me here.
inútil paisagem
Vinícius de Morães who wrote the lyrics to “Girl from Ipanema”, said: Bossa nova is “the youngest child of traditional samba, who had an affair with jazz. It’s more a look than a kiss; more tenderness than passion; more a note than a message.“
