The program included some of the scores that earned him world-wide popularity, such as "Summer of '42", "The Three Musketeers", "Les parapluies de Cherbourg".
Michel Legrand has composed over 200 film and television scores (from Lady Sings The Blues to Wuthering Heights to Ice Station Zebra), several musicals (including the Broadway-bound French hit, Le Passe Muraille), and made well over a hundred albums.
He has won three Oscars (out of 13 nominations), five Grammys, and an Emmy nomination.
He is a virtuoso jazz and classical pianist, and an accomplished arranger and conductor who guests with orchestras all over the world.
