\u201cD\u0113troit<\/strong>\u201d is an original composition by Grammy Award\u2013winning composer Victor le Masne, commissioned by Villa Albertine as part of this milestone anniversary. Created by the music director of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, it pays tribute to a shared history of creativity, exchange, and innovation between France and the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Performed by a string quartet, harp, marimbas, and synthesizers, the piece draws inspiration from Detroit\u2019s rich musical legacy, blending Techno, Motown, and French Touch influences into a contemporary musical dialogue across the Atlantic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following its Los Angeles premiere, \u201cD\u0113troit\u201d is now available worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
