About the Event

Four talented soloists and the Orchestre National d’Ile‐de‐France, under the direction of Bruno Fontaine, perform the most beautiful songs of French singer Barbara in a symphonic arrangement.

Barbara's poetic songs are among the most famous of the French popular repertoire, a perfect mix of melancholy, fragility but also force and determination. Bruno Fontaine offers symphonic arrangements of a selection of her most beautiful songs, such as Attendez que ma joie revienne, Une petite cantate and Ma plus belle histoire d’amour.
