Good Vibes Explosion
Generously borderless, the Jazz and World Music program at La Seine Musicale blends different generations of artists with diverse musical influences: major international figures, jazz masters, and emerging artists, as well as unique encounters between the most exciting artists! Groove and improvisation are on the agenda!
A charismatic leader in klezmer music with its most joyful variations, David Krakauer is much more than a virtuoso clarinetist. Beyond the jazz, funk, and electro influences that have shaped his style, the new project he presents at La Seine Musicale is the stage extension of his latest album: Mazel Tov Cocktail Party. It’s a concentrated burst of live humanity, a joyful and sharing cocktail that brilliantly explores all corners of live music, whether local folklore, Central European traditional dance, Caribbean rhythms, or forgotten curiosities.
David Krakauer and his band of vibrant musicians are joined by Kathleen Tagg, a South African multi-instrumentalist expert in combining acoustic sounds with electronic effects. A concert that aims to be an antidote to pessimism and gloom!

La Seine Musicale
La Seine Musicale is a music and performing arts center located on Île Seguin an island on the Seine river between Boulogne-Billancourt and Sèvres, in the western suburbs of Paris, France.
Adress: La Seine Musicale, Île Seguin, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt, France
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.
