For more than a decade singer, actress, director and songwriter Jane Birkin was muse to the legendary French singer, songwriter and enfant terrible 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 and darling of the French avant-garde presents a special concert of Gainsbourg’s music to mark 20 years since his death.
