Composer of the soundtracks of several of the leading films from the last decade – including the Harry Potter saga – and with an enviable list of collaborations with the likes of Roman Polanski, Terrence Malick, George Clooney, Ken Loach, amongst many others, Desplat has received four Oscars nominations and is one of the leading and most proficuous film composers of recent decades.

Inspired by a series of films for which he composed the soundtrack — The Tree of Life (Terrence Malick), The Beat That My Heart Skipped (Jacques Audiard) and The Queen (Stephen Frears), amongst others – we will also present Alexandre Desplat accompanied by a group of leading musicians, the Traffic Quintet. Desplat will propose a journey through his compositions and also the memories of French cinema.
