The two-time Academy winner conducts a career-spanning program of his most popular and cherished film scores.

After scoring 50 European films with legendary French directors including Philippe de Broca, Francis Girod and Jacques Audiard, Alexandre Desplat burst onto the Hollywood scene with his evocative score for Girl with a Pearl Earring in 2003. And over the last two decades, he’s become one of the most prolific film composers in the industry, having created the enticing sound worlds for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and The Shape of Water, among countless other blockbusters.

A close collaborator of Wes Anderson, Desplat’s delightfully mischievous scores for Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and The French Dispatch continuously spark joy and delight among music and movie-lovers worldwide. For the first time at Santa Cecilia, Desplat leads a program of his most acclaimed and beloved music for one night only.
