And over the last two decades\, he’s become one of the most prolific film composers in the industry\, having created the enticing sound worlds for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button\, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows\, and The Shape of Water\, among countless other blockbusters.   \nA close collaborator of Wes Anderson\, Desplat’s delightfully mischievous scores for Fantastic Mr. Fox\, The Grand Budapest Hotel\, and The French Dispatch continuously spark joy and delight among music and movie-lovers worldwide. For the first time at the Hollywood Bowl\, Desplat leads a program of his most acclaimed and beloved music for one night only.
