The themes and songs of James Bond brought to majesty by a symphony orchestra

James Bond, it's an impeccable tuxedo, a Walther PPK, gadgets, polymorphous villains, impossible missions... but it's also a few notes composed by Monty Norman and orchestrated by John Barry, repeated over and over since James Bond versus Dr No in 1962 which, from the first minutes of the film, makes the viewer understand that he is entering the secret world of MI6 agents, dear to His Most Gracious Majesty.

On March 15 and 16, 2024, taking up a concept created in 2020, Bond Symphonique will take up the themes and songs, from Good Kisses from Russia to Specter via Goldlfinger, On Her Majesty's Secret Service and Skyfall, which were written as well as the exploits of Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Daniel Craig and others, the cinematic magic of the adventures of 007.

Under the baton of Daniel Sené, who directs both the Colonne and Musidrama orchestras, composed of some 50 musicians accompanied by two masterful singers, Gwendal Marimoutou and Prisca Demarez, a large part of the themes of John Barry (11 compositions) and John Arnold (5 compositions) will be performed in the legendary cinema in the center of Paris.

Daniel Sené is not only a conductor who knows how to combine Bondian themes of classical, jazz but also pop and electro, but he is also a fine connoisseur of the music from James Bond films. Between each song or piece, he takes care to explain how they came to be and, above all, how they fully participate in the excitement of the scenarios.

The two beautiful voices of the Symphonic Bond, Prisca Demarez (Queen Iduna in Frozen 2) and Gwendal Marimoutou (Simba in The Lion King) bring to life in an astonishing way the memories of the historic interpretations of Shirley Bassey (Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever) and Paul McCartney (Live and Let Die). Recently in a comparable orchestral show Claude Lelouch affirmed that “his music was an integral part of his work”. Bond Symphonique, a grandiose spectacle, demonstrates this in the same majesty.
