In a powerful homage to her partner and mentor Serge Gainsbourg, the chanteuse, star of film and stage, style icon and darling of the French avant-garde, Jane Birkin, will give us this one special concert.
For more than a decade Jane Birkin was muse to the legendary French singer, songwriter and enfant terrible Gainsbourg. Together they produced six albums and continued to collaborate professionally long after their relationship finished in 1980.
The muse-lover-mentor web of Birkin - Gainsbourg sets her connection to his lyrics apart with many of his songs written specifically for her voice. Given that the songs are mostly about love - love of her and with her - Jane sings them with a very real, if understated, passion.
Presented by Brisbane Powerhouse and Maggie Gerrand. |
