Live at Meneer de Wit: Melanie Bong & Christian Doepke – Gipsy Fire

We are thrilled to welcome vocalist Melanie Bong to Meneer de Wit for an intimate evening of soulful jazz.

Born and raised in Tyrol, Austria, Melanie Bong developed her rich musical voice through studies in Graz and New York, working with legendary jazz vocalists Sheila Jordan, Jay Clayton, Andy Bey, and Mark Murphy. Her smooth, expressive voice is deeply emotional and instantly captivating.

Together with pianist Christian Doepke, she presents music from her latest album Gipsy Fire, alongside a selection of beautifully chosen jazz standards.

Critics compare her sound to legends such as Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, and Ella Fitzgerald, with one review describing her style as a unique blend of Nina Simone, Edith Piaf, and Carmen Miranda.

Expect an evening filled with warmth, depth, and musical storytelling — an up-close jazz experience in the cozy atmosphere of Meneer de Wit.
