Picasso Symphony, the original experience between cinema and concert, plays its world premiere at La Seine Musicale on June 30, 2024. The show is a tribute to the artist Pablo Picasso, telling the story of his life's journey.

Picasso Symphony, a show dedicated to the whole world, makes its French debut at La Seine Musicale in Boulogne-Billancourt. On June 30, you'll be able to discover Art in its many forms, in a visual and musical show .

The aim of the show is to combine a surprising visual experience with the works of artist Pablo Picasso, accompanied by an orchestra. The symphony features music by great composers such as Falla, Britten, Satie, Ives, Albeniz, Holst and above all Stravinsky, artists who were friends of Picasso during his lifetime. The orchestra will focus on Stravinsky, a very good friend of Picasso, with whom he shared his drawings. A Stravinsky record cover was even created by Pablo Picasso .

Picasso Symphony takes a step-by-step look at the life and artistic development of Pablo Picasso. From Cubism and Surrealism to the creation of the famous painting Guernica, created in 1937 during the Spanish Civil War, you'll discover the artist and his works as you've never seen them before.

The show is produced by Jason Michael Paul, a renowned innovator in music concerts, having already produced over 300. Use of the visuals on Picasso's works of art is authorized by the Picasso Estate, represented by Picasso Administration. The next date of the show will be in Texas, on May 10, 2025, with the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra.

"We're looking forward to allowing the public to approach and celebrate the work of this prolific artist in a groundbreaking way. This experiment is the first of its kind to be followed by Matisse." - Jason Michael Paul

Picasso Symphony, the never-before-seen show, takes place at La Seine Musicale on June 30, 2024 .
