Azur et Asmar in concert

**Azur et Asmar in concert** After sold‑out performances across France, the beloved **Azur et Asmar** cine‑concert returns to Paris in a spectacular setting: the legendary Grand Rex theatre. On Sunday, **25 October 2026**, the screen will come alive with Gabriel Yared’s original score—reimagined by Robin Melchior—and the full‑bodied sounds of the **Yellow Socks Orchestra** under the baton of **Nicolas Simon**. In perfect sync with the film’s dazzling projection, the music will envelop the audience in a rich, cinematic experience. Joining the orchestra are an all‑star lineup of soloists: the breathtaking flute of **Mohamed Najem**, the evocative oud of **Ney**, and the soulful strings of **Yousef Zayed**. Adding an extra layer of magic, the acclaimed singer‑songwriter **Souad Massi** will take the stage to perform live the heart‑warming **Chanson d'Azur et Asmar**, bringing the story’s music to life in a passage that fans have long cherished. The film itself is a milestone in children’s animation, crafted by **Michel Ocelot**—the visionary behind the unforgettable *Kirikou* trilogy.
