Press Release
“PICASSO SYMPHONY” TO PREMIERE JUNE 30, 2024 IN PARIS!
Groundbreaking show produced by globally acclaimed Jason Michael Paul Entertainment
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – APRIL 8, 2024– Produced by renowned music concert innovator Jason Michael Paul Entertainment, the highly anticipated “Picasso Symphony” – an unprecedented and breathtaking film orchestra experience – 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.
Jason Michael Paul – who has produced over 300 music concerts and is the producer and creator of the first stateside FINAL FANTASY concerts, The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses concerts, National Geographic’s Symphony for Our World, and Founder of JMP Entertainment – is the visionary behind the “Picasso Symphony”.
Paul notes, “We are thrilled to give audiences new ways to experience and celebrate the works of this prolific genius. Also, it is significant for us to highlight Stravinksy, who was a real-life confidant and inspiration to Picasso. These two giants of 20th century art and culture come together again in our symphony.”
