The premiere of Beethoven's Symphony No. 3 marked a new era in the history of music. The composer displayed unprecedented strength, guided by the idea of a hero confronting the challenges of existence. Dubbed "Eroica" by Beethoven himself, this powerful work blends grandiose outbursts with moments of tenderness, tracing the journey of a person in struggle, between triumph and introspection.
Where Beethoven's Symphony No. 3 is an epic and monumental journey, Poulenc's Aubade is a lively and joyful breath. Composed in 1959 for a ballet, this work, animated by dance rhythms, evokes both the lightness and the ardor of the breaking dawn. This concert offers you the unique opportunity to rediscover Aubade as it was conceived in its early days, accompanied by the dancers of the Musagète company, thus restoring all of Poulenc's vivacity and momentum. It will come to life on the piano under the fingers of Jean-Paul Gasparian.
Finally, a final touch of mystery, an Invitation to Travel , will close this concert. This unique work, full of surprise and fascination, will take you to where imagination takes precedence over reality, in a whirlwind of emotions and sounds that will, once again, captivate your mind.

Why a “pre-concert”?…
To meet us, to talk, to get to know us better.
To also understand the works that will be performed, immerse yourself in the composer's era and identify the particularities of his writing. Julie Terranti, a well-known voice of Radio Classique, is your guide as you wander through this historical context and reveal the secrets hidden within each masterpiece. The conductor, or the concert soloist, will be at her side to converse with you.

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.
