NEW SHOW: GAINSBOURG SYMPHONIC
Jane Birkin sings the best of Serge Gainsbourg (symphonic version)
Premiere in Montreal + Worldwide Tour.
Serge Gainsbourg dreamed of a symphonic concert for his work... This dream is about to come true. Jane Birkin received from the Symphonic Orchestra of Montreal a proposal to create the first recital Gainsbourg Symphonic on the occasion of the opening evening of the Francofolies of Montreal 2016. She proposed to the great Japanese composer and arranger Nobuyuki Nakajima (with whom she already worked with for the tour Via Japan) that he create the arrangements. He will also play the piano on stage with her. Inspired by this new musical project, Jane Birkin has decided that the premier of Gainsbourg Symphonic in Montreal would be the first performance of a worldwide tour.

JANE BIRKIN SINGS SERGE GAINSBOURG VIA JAPAN
Live Album Out Now
Amour des Feintes, Ballade de Johnny Jane, Les Dessous Chics, Di Doo Dah, Fuir le bonheur de peur qu'il ne se sauve, La Gadoue, etc.
"Hearing the likes of "Do Di Dah" without guitar picking might not have been the same, but its playful spirit came shining through in a jazz rendition. Birkin's voice and easy way with a tricky series of notes here and there was a bit of a revelation to some, for sure, and proved more than capable of carrying tunes when the band receded [...] She was witty, elegant, sincere, emotional, humble and vivacious-with a smile that never seemed forced, more like inevitable." Time Out Chicago.

GAINSBOURG, POÈTE MAJEUR
Reading for three voices: Jane Birkin, Michel Piccoli and Hervé Pierre (Comédie Française)
Last performance in Paris at the Théâtre du Rond Point - 7 December 2015.
We remember Serge Gainsbourg saying: “I practise a minor art intended for minor people”Pure provocation! In reality, his masters were Huysmans, Picabia, Rimbaudwhom he mentioned wanting “to get closer to…”. Jane Birkin, Michel Piccoli and Hervé Pierre attest to this in their inspired reading of the sixty texts chosen from the entire body of work of Gainsbourg,major poet.
