Songs de Paris - Francesca de Valence - Wyberba

4 August at 17:00–20:00
Pyramids Road Wines
25 Wyberba Lane, Wyberba, Queensland
Here is the story of Francesca de Valence’s Paris experiment, ‘Songs de Paris’. The story is magic.
Much-loved Australian singer-songwriter Francesca de Valence set off on a solo voyage of discovery in 2017: a month in Paris, the City of Light, the City of Love. She took an empty notebook and an open heart and found her muse in both, connecting with her patriarchal French heritage and writing her show ‘Songs de Paris’.
After sell-out concerts in Australia in early 2018, she returns again for Paris in the springtime. Another season, another colour, another light, another musical commentary on the city that has stolen her heart. Dancing between Australia and Paris playing shows in creative nooks and nests, ‘Songs de Paris’ continues to evolve. This intimate solo concert with projected images is an absolute delight and a joyous celebration of Paris told through the eyes of a new lover, a foreigner and a woman.
“Her voice is the real star – when she lets it loose, it fills the small room with booming echoes and powerfully rich tones. Never afraid to expose her emotions on stage, she pairs most songs with their stories, whether it’s finding herself coincidentally crafting her father’s face in a sculpting class (Water & Clay), adventuring with a new friend’s vintage sports car (Red Cat) or wandering through what turns out to be Paris’ renowned red light district (set highlight Oh, Pigalle).” – Music Is My Muse.
