EASTWOOD SYMPHONIC

EASTWOOD SYMPHONIC
Eastwood Symphonic is a son's tribute to his father, actor, director and musician. Kyle and his quintet join the Orchestre National de Cannes to offer a rich and emotional interpretation of Clint Eastwood's film music, under the baton of conductor Gast Waltzing. The concert sets to music the fusional relationship between two arts that have in common the power of evocation and the emotional charge, and between two artists who, beyond the family link, share a passion for cinema and music.

Kyle Eastwood
Son of Clint, but above all a talented jazz bassist and composer or arranger of film scores including Gran Torino, Mystic River, Million Dollar Baby, Letters from Iwo Jima and Invictus, Kyle Eastwood is the author of eight albums, the latest of which, "Cinematic", is a variation on cult film themes. Kyle Eastwood's quintet sublimates the ballad of Gran Torino, swings Pink Panther and grooves the theme from Skyfall.

Gast Waltzing
Luxembourg-born composer, arranger and conductor Gast Waltzing has composed more than 160 soundtracks for film and television and makes a living from music. In the course of his distinguished musical career, he has released dozens of albums covering classical, jazz and dance. Many of his film scores have been written for symphony orchestra.

Cannes National Orchestra
For more than 40 years, the Orchestre National de Cannes has been touring France with the same enthusiasm thanks to its loyal partners: the City of Cannes, the Ministry of Culture, the Alpes-Maritimes Department, the South Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Region, the companies that are members of the Andantino Club and the Friends of the Orchestra. It constantly seeks to offer the public innovative and daring programmes, led by renowned and quality artists. Each season, it offers more than one hundred symphonic, chamber music and young audience concerts. Founded in 1975, the Orchestra, which received a Victoire d'honneur in 2005 for its work as a whole, is now directed by Benjamin Levy. It was awarded the National Orchestra label in January 2022.
