William Christie is celebrating his 80th birthday, including 45 years at the helm of the ensemble he founded, Les Arts Florissants. An opportunity to revisit some of his finest concerts at the Cité de la Musique and the Philharmonie de Paris.

Pierre Boulez as a composer, but also a conductor and teacher, most notably in masterclasses with the Cleveland Orchestra: this selection reveals all the facets of this central figure of the 20th century.

From the moment they opened, the Cité de la musique and the Philharmonie de Paris have welcomed the finest orchestras, under the baton of the greatest conductors–resident orchestras, fellow musicians and prestigious guests.

From string quartets to piano, organ and cello recitals, this selection of concerts brings together some of the world’s greatest performers to explore the most intimate aspects of music.

Les Arts Florissants, Pygmalion and Raphaël Pichon, Jordi Savall, the greatest harpsichordists playing on the magnificent instruments of the Musée de la musique... time for historical interpretations!
