Concerts ‘Georges Delerue – Un géant du cinema / A giant of cinema’ in Paris

Friday 11/4/2025 – 20h – Georges Delerue – Un géant du cinéma / La Nuit américaine

Official description:

“In cinema, the art of the composer is that of the extra soul,” Georges Delerue once summed up. One thinks in particular of the tragic pain he brings to Romy Schneider’s face in Zulawski’s L’Important, c’est d’aimer. Or, in La Nuit américaine, the fullness of his Grand choral, sublimating the fusion of film people in the accomplishment of their art. These two opuses are included in this first program, covering a wide aesthetic spectrum, from pieces for solo piano to works for orchestra and choir, such as Police Python 357, a black jewel whose concert premiere will be held here.
