Jane Birkin Sings Serge Gainsbourg

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 one special concert 'Jane Birkin sings Serge Gainsbourg'.

For more than a decade she was muse to the legendary French singer, songwriter and enfant terrible Gainsbourg. He was a cult hero in France and his death of a heart attack on March 2, 1991, warranted something of a national day of mourning. Together they produced six albums and continued to collaborate professionally long after their relationship finished in 1980.

In her long career, Jane Birkin has starred in countless films and released dozens of recordings. "The muse-lover-mentor web of Birkin - Gainsbourg sets her connection to his lyrics apart. Many of his songs were written specifically for her (with that voice in mind) and given that they are mostly about love - love of her and with her - Jane sings them with a very real, if understated, passion.
