Jane Birkin To Serenade Melbourne Audiences

Birkin, one of the most celebrate and iconic women in musical history, will be coming to Australia shores to sing the songs of the legendary French singer/songwriter Serge Gainsbourg. 

Together they produced six albums and continued to collaborate professionally long after their relationship ended in 1980. In a powerful homage to her partner and mentor, the style icon presents a special concert of Gainsbourg’s music to mark 20 years since his death. Birkin will perform with a group comprising some of Japan’s finest musicians including pianist and composer Nobuyuki Nakajima, known for both his masterful piano and his work arranging ensembles; jazz-influenced drummer Tsuotmu Kurihara; violinist Asuka Maret; and brass player Shuishiro Sakaguchi.
