Boomtown: Haroun & Helena's Heartbreak Hotel

Songs full of love

Broken hearts are welcome at the bar. At Haroun & Helena’s Heartbreak Hotel, two of Ha’s resident artists, accompanied by a band full of heartache, delve into the most beautiful ballads from the jazz standards repertoire. Complete with a string quartet, a wind section and a choir.

Singer Helena Casella and guitarist Haroun Iqbal bring their favourite songs and immerse themselves in the emotion. Expect an ode to the tearjerker, countless love stories and timeless jazz classics that touch the soul — from subtle longing and joy to intense loss. An evening that doesn’t push heartbreak aside, but embraces it fully, with music as a source of comfort and a unifying force. Don’t forget your date!
