Mary Carewe is one of the UK's most accomplished singers and regularly performs throughout the UK, Europe, Australia and the USA. Her impressive versatility ranges from musical theatre showstoppers and cabaret songs to the avant-garde repertoire she masters with musicality, personality, and panache, embracing each genre as her own. Serious Cabaret investigates composers' flirtations with cabaret and jazz. Carewe includes here some well-known standards alongside less recorded and quirky songs by William Bolcom, Alexander Zemlinsky and Stefan Wolpe, and includes a first recording of Aria by Australian composer Carl Vine.
