Discover the world of James Bond through his original music?

This is the experience offered by Bond Symphonique, an orchestra which, after a tour throughout France, will make the Grand Rex resonate on March 15 and 16. 

This March 15 and 16, the Grand Rex is hosting the Bond Symphonique.

This orchestra introduces us to all the cult music from the James Bond universe.

This is therefore an opportunity to better understand the history of these original tapes.

What everyone knows is this extract from a musical by Monty Norman about an Indian community, arranged by John Barry, which combines Jazz and Classical Music... The James Bond theme changed the history of music of movie.

An irreplaceable theme and new features

“We could say that

Star Wars

or

Indiana Jones

have equally iconic themes,” says Samuel Sené, the conductor of Bond Symphonique.

“But in fact, James Bond is the very first license to bring the theme of a character.”

An irreplaceable theme, even if for each new film, we discover a new original song with a similar composition. 

“To get the suspense, it’s simple, it’s the original half-tone,” adds Samuel Sené.

“We regularly come across this thing. It’s this half-tone that brings mystery.”

But the orchestra has its own favorite, it’s 

Skyfall

.

“Not because she’s simple, because she’s incredible.”
