Sempé and music is a long love story that goes from Jazz to Debussy and his Clair de Lune, via Trenet, Ravel, Gershwin and Michel Legrand. On this cover of March 12 th 1984, he offers us a little journey of modesty in the philharmonic orchestra, from the conductor to the harpist, to the snare drum player all moved by this honour. 

Indian girl in the wings for the entrance of the musicians of the Philharmonic Orchestra under Sempé's eye for the New Yorker of January 28, 1985. The black tails of the musicians' tails stand out against the covers of their instruments as they watch them pass by. The snare drum player chooses his sticks. Music is a favourite subject in Sempé's work.
