Julien Clerc

Julien Clerc settles in at the Théâtre Mac-Nab in Vierzon on March 20, 2027. A singer, pianist and composer, he has championed since the late 1960s a French chanson that blends romanticism and pop. On stage he unfolds a repertoire that has crossed generations, from the first stirrings of “La Cavalerie” to choruses sung in unison like “Si on chantait,” as well as “Ce n’est rien,” “Ma préférence,” “Femmes je vous aime,” “Fais‑moi une place” and “Mélissa.” Surrounded by spare, precise arrangements, he alternates intimate ballads with brighter tempos, with the clear diction and phrasing that have shaped his style.

This concert foregrounds the songwriting, the melody and the direct connection with the audience. At the piano or supported by the orchestra, Julien Clerc revisits his classics without affectation, offers glimpses of more recent songs and revives the collaborations that have marked his path, from Étienne Roda‑Gil to Jean‑Loup Dabadie. An evening to rediscover the trajectory of an artist who moves through time without forced nostalgia, while retaining a love of the stage and of songs that simply speak of love and life.
