The elusive Lauryn Hill is the latest addition to this summer’s Ravinia lineup.

The singer behind the Fugees’ 1996 smash “Killing Me Softly” is scheduled to perform Sept. 1 at the Highland Park music oasis as part of a summer tour.

Hill has largely laid low since the release of her only solo studio album, the Grammy-winning “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill,” in 1998. Her most recent turn in the spotlight was as a contributor to the soundtrack of last year’s Oscar-nominated Nina Simone documentary “What Happened, Miss Simone?”

Tickets are $38-$95. Tickets for all 2016 Ravinia events go on sale at 5 a.m. April 26 at ravinia.org.
