Concert

Orchestre de Paris / Esa-Pekka Salonen

In a stunning acoustic alchemy between the orchestral colours and the ethereal, with the embodied magic of the voice, Ligeti’s exploration and Debussy’s symbolism prepare us for the aesthetic and mystical shock of the Turangalîla-Symphonie.


Concert

Orchestre de Paris / Klaus Mäkelä

Exemplifying Pythagoras’ theorem of a ‘music of the spheres’, this concert draws us into a cosmic journey, between philosophy, celestial poetry, and spiritual imagining—and unveils a new orb with the premiere of a work by Jimmy López.


Concert

Orchestre de Paris / Alexandre Desplat

Alexandre Desplat conducts the Orchestre de Paris in a selection of his scores that illustrates the uniqueness of his Hollywood career, alternating between independent cinema and blockbusters, from Terrence Malick to Wes Anderson and Greta Gerwig.


Concert

Pierre et le loup - Prokofiev

An original text brings this concert to life, where the confidences of a bird prelude the eternal enchantment of Peter and the Wolf. It's a cross-border journey for all the family!
