Symphony of the Ocean

Experience “Symphony of the Ocean,” a mesmerizing concert film that takes you on an unforgettable sonic voyage beneath the waves. As dusk settles, the line between sky and sea blurs, and the music becomes the guide. The program opens in the abyss, evoking legendary creatures from John Williams’ cinematic shark and Akira Ifukube’s colossal titan. Rising to the surface, bright sea shanties and heroic tales accompany a triumphant return to familiar waters—each piece a tribute to the ocean’s many voices. Tonight’s performance unfolds in the unique setting of Nausicaá, the Centre National de la Mer in Boulogne‑sur‑Mer, where the glass‑paneed Grande Baie lets you watch silent, majestic marine life—living witnesses to this musical homage. The sea speaks in baroque, folk, Hollywood, and French songs, and here it speaks them all at once. Featured pieces include: - “Jaws” – John Williams - “The Sea Storm” – Antonio Vivaldi - “Godzilla under the Sea” – Akira Ifukube - “La Mer” – Charles Trenet - “Drunken Sailor” – Norman Tailor - “Popeye the Sailorman” – Sammy Lerner - “Hymne to the Sea” from *Titanic* – James Horner - “Scheherazade: The Sea and the Sinbad Boat” – Rimsky‑Korsakov - “Pirates of the Caribbean” – Klaus Badelt Let the music carry you from icy Atlantic depths, across Rimsky‑Korsakov’s East Sea, to the flamboyant Caribbean of Klaus Badelt—a journey where freedom smells of powder and rum, and every note echoes the heartbeat of the ocean.
