Paris 2024 unveils the Official Musical Theme of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, composed by Victor le Masne

Paris 2024 has chosen Victor le Masne as Musical Director for the four ceremonies and Composer of the Official Musical Theme of the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024.

Renowned for his talent and innovation in the field of music, Victor le Masne has written and composed a captivating Official Musical Theme, subtly combining symphonic and electronic sounds, embodying the dynamic and universal spirit of the Paris 2024 Games.

The Official Musical Theme of the Paris 2024 Games, entitled "Parade", will be performed on 8 May at 7.30pm, when the Olympic Flame arrives in Marseille. It will be played live, exceptionally, by the Marseille orchestra from the Palais du Pharo, marking the start of the Games celebrations in France. This musical theme, which will be played throughout the Olympic and Paralympic Games, was recorded with the Orchestre National de France and the Chœur et Maitrise de Radio France. It will resonate with all the emotions of sport in a rousing melody that will accompany all the highlights of the Games, from the arrival of the Olympic Flame in Marseille, through each stage of the Relay, to the competition venues. This official musical theme will be available in a range of versions, with tones and rhythms that will change to suit the occasion.

"I am honoured and excited to contribute to the unforgettable experience of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games as Composer of the Official Musical Theme and Musical Director of the Ceremonies. My aim is to create an original soundtrack that will not only accompany the most memorable moments of these historic Games, but will also remain etched in the memories of all generations." Victor le Masne

"Victor le Masne sets all the magic of the Paris 2024 Games to music with vivacity, composing both the values of sport and the ambition of Paris 2024 to set the pace for the coming months." Tony Estanguet, President of Paris 2024.

Victor le Masne is also working alongside Thomas Jolly as Composer of the four ceremonies of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, each of which will have its own sound identity, inspired by the Official Musical Theme. In 2022, Victor le Masne was already working alongside Thomas Jolly on the musical direction of the famous rock opera "Starmania", for which he produced the new arrangements.

Victor le Masne also previously worked with Paris 2024 on the handover ceremony between the Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 Games, with a brilliant re-orchestration of the Marseillaise performed by the Orchestre National de France.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
