Last year, Jane Birkin released Birkin/Gainsbourg: Le Symphonique, a tribute to her late husband and collaborator, Serge Gainsbourg, which puts 21 of his songs to orchestral arrangements by Nobuyuki Nakajima. She brought the Le Symphonique tour tour to NYC last night, playing Carnegie Hall. Surprise guest for the evening was Rufus Wainwright...

Paul Thomas Anderson's Phantom Thread is up for six Academy Awards, including a nomination for Jonny Greenwood's score. Folks in New York City and Los Angeles will have a chance to experience the score performed live by Worldless Music Orchestra and principals from London Contemporary Orchestra, to a screening of the film...

"It is a privilege that one of the greatest French writers wrote for me from the age of 20 to 45," Birkin says. "In a way it never stopped. It’s a strange situation. What can I do for him now, even though it’s too late! At least I can wear him, take him with me. Say his words!"

It's part of BAM's 2017 Next Wave Festival.

Joanna also sang "He Needs Me" at a 'Punch-Drunk Love' screening with Jon Brion and Wordless Music Orchestra, who will do it again in Brooklyn soon.
