A folk-soul singer with a captivating voice, La Seine Musicale is proud to welcome Awa Ly back for an exceptional concert in the 360-degree Auditorium, based on her latest album Essence and Elements .
A true introspective and meditative journey carried by a fusion of musical genres, Awa Ly addresses, among other things, our deep connection with the spiritual and human heritage that constitutes us, and the importance of discovering our inner roots. It is on the island of Alicudi, in the Aeolian archipelago, where she regularly goes to recharge her batteries, that Essence and Elements was born . There, inspired by the silence, she embraces nature which embraces her in turn: the wind, the waves, the crackling of the flames or the cracking of the trees whisper melodies and lyrics to her. Freeing herself from the tumult of the world, she immerses herself in the elements that surround her (Earth, Water, Air, Fire) to compose and write her third album for which she surrounded herself with Nicolas Repac , Lossapardo , Hannah V , and Léonie Pernet , among others.
Playing with bass and treble, multiplying into choruses and varying in intensity, her voice is an instrument in its own right capable of dreamlike vocal layers. The one who practices the music of the soul, transforming emotions into sounds with a spiritual and universal dimension, is to be rediscovered on the Auditorium stage.

Auditorium Patrick Devedjian
Nestled like a gem in a case of glass and wood, the Auditorium Patrick Devedjian is the centerpiece of our building. It can accommodate up to 1,150 spectators and is dedicated to acoustic music, featuring the greatest classical ensembles and musicians, foremost among them the resident orchestra: Insula orchestra.
Its appearance is open to interpretation: a bird's nest, a giant liner, "the ball"...
From the outside, its glass facade is protected and powered by a gigantic array of solar panels that moves in synchronization with the sun, overlooking the concrete liner.
From the inside, the 1,150-seat hall awakens our senses. Dedicated to classical music, jazz, and world music concerts, its light blonde wooden ceiling, cardboard tubes, and paper reveal all the secrets of the excellent acoustics of this stage.
Its Acoustics
Studied by the Nagata and Jean-Paul Lamoureux firm to ensure the best possible sound reproduction for the audience. All precautions have been taken to guarantee exceptional acoustics with the precision of a musical instrument.
Its Design
Modular, its vineyard-style arrangement creates a genuine proximity with the audience surrounding the artists. The interplay of lights, the beauty of materials (wood, mosaics, glass), and the 360° panorama are all designed to match the pleasure of the eyes with that of the ears.
Its design aims to create a sense of visual and acoustic intimacy shared between the audience and the musicians. The atmosphere of the hall is warm, with curved wooden walls and ceiling contributing to the hall’s unique sound identity. Access to the hall is provided on three levels by large suspended walkways offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. These are connected by large staircases forming a continuous promenade around the hall.
