Caroline Polachek gave a special performance at Paris’ Musée de l’Orangerie on October 18. In front of Claude Monet’s Water Lilies, she sang the beautiful closing song on Radiohead’s A Moon Shaped Pool, “True Love Waits.” Watch her performance below.
“Deepest thank you to [Klaus Biesenbach] and [Olivier Berggruen] for inviting me to come perform a short program of songs on the occasion of the Museum Berggruen and Neue Nationalgalerie exhibition of the Heinz Berggruen collection at the Musée de L’Orangerie for Art Basel Paris 2024,” Polachek wrote on Instagram. “I had chills all over to sing in that room, while seeing those paintings IRL for the first time.”
“‘True Love Waits’, like the Water Lilies, went through decades of versions and distillations,” she continued, “through time and loss and perseverance.”
