Three-time Juno-nominated singer-songwriter Jill Barber is joining the Kingston Symphony for Under Paris Skies, a concert of timeless French classics, Saturday, Apr. 11 at 7:30 P.M. at the Kingston Grand Theatre.

Known for her blend of folk, jazz, and chanson, Barber will transport audiences into the heart of vintage Paris, performing iconic songs like La Vie En Rose and La Mer.

This show also marks a return to Kingston for Barber. While she is now based in Vancouver, Barber graduated from Queen’s University in 2002 and began her early music career performing in local venues.
