Picasso Symphony
Experience Picasso Like Never Before. A live orchestral documentary on the life of Pablo Picasso
Picasso Symphony is an unprecedented and breathtaking film orchestra experience and will premiere on June 30, 2024 in Paris at the prestigious La Seine Musicale. The show series, which is a celebration of the artist’s life and legacy, is being produced with the authorization of the Picasso Estate, represented by Picasso Administration. Other scheduled dates include May 10, 2025 with the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra at the Will Rogers Memorial Center in Fort Worth, TX, with many more performances being announced as they are confirmed.
An exploration and homage to the prolific genius of Pablo Picasso, “Picasso Symphony” blends stunning visuals with a curated arrangement of live orchestral music telling the story of Picasso's life's journey. The symphony features music from renowned composers including De Falla, Britten, Satie, Ives, Albeniz, Holst, and especially Stravinsky, who actually became good friends with Picasso around the turn of the century. They became pop culture mainstays in Rome and Naples, and the two icons would then spend years sharing pieces of art with each via the mail, with Picasso sending Stravinksy drawings and Stravinksy sending him sketches of musical scores. Picasso even created the cover art for one of Stravinsky’s records.
Join us at the symphony to explore and pay homage to the life and work of Pablo Picasso. The show blends stunning visuals with a curated arrangement of live orchestral music telling the story of Picasso's life's journey and his connection to music and those that composed it!
