Generously without borders, the Jazz and World Music programming of La Seine Musicale blends different generations of artists with multiple musical influences: major international figures, jazz masters, and emerging artists, as well as unprecedented encounters between the most explosive artists! Groove and improvisation are on the agenda!
Kayhan Kalhor and Erdal Erzincan are two undisputed masters of the kamancheh, a bowed string instrument played vertically, with a long neck and a small resonator body, and the bağlama, a plucked string instrument with three double courses, who have captivated the world with their rare synergy. One must trace back to ancient Persia and the Ottoman Empire to find the roots of this unique musical culture, whose harmonic system is adorned with enchanting beauty. Enhanced by the magnificent complementarity of their instruments and the delightful twists of their improvisations, the emotions created by these two artists make us vibrate with sequences of dialogue between poetry, trance, and sensuality. A noble way, blending history and contemporaneity, to savor the spells of a totally original musical Orient, as evidenced by their seminal album The Wind.

La Seine Musicale

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.
