Picasso Symphony: Symphony Pops

Introduction

Picasso Symphony is an immersive concert experience that brings the life, art, and vision of Pablo Picasso to the stage. More than 50 years after his passing, this production explores Picasso not just as a painter but as a revolutionary force who reshaped the way we see art. From painting to ceramics, printmaking to sculpture, he pushed the boundaries of every medium he touched—reinventing artistic expression for the modern world.

This experience mirrors Picasso’s artistic evolution, with each stylistic period paired with evocative orchestral works that reflect its mood, energy, and spirit. From the lyrical melancholy of the Blue Period to the fractured dynamism of Cubism, from the grandeur of Neoclassicism to the raw emotion of his War Years, the music and visuals unite to tell the story of an artist who never stopped reinventing himself.
