To coincide with the opening of the Picasso exhibition at the Paris Philharmonie’s Museum of Music in April 2020, harmonia mundi invites you to discover a different facet of the artist: Picasso the music lover.

As a creator who found a lifelong source of inspiration in music, this audio component of the show explores the painter’s musical universe (ranging from popular entertainment to the most avant-garde trends of the day, not forgetting his work for the stage) and illustrates his friendships with the greatest composers of his time: Debussy, Satie, Falla, Stravinsky, Poulenc, and Milhaud – nothing less.
