Three eminent performers exalt a program resolutely anchored in the south: alongside a four-hand work by two icons of Brazilian guitar and a piece by the Italian Castelnuovo-Tedesco, stands the emblematic Concerto d'Aranjuez.
Written for seven-string guitar and premiered in 2022, Ilhas Concertantes is conceived as a musical pilgrimage through several islands of the world, such as Itamaracá in northeastern Brazil, La Graciosa in the Canary Islands, and La Invernada in Argentina. Andrés Segovia inspired Castelnuovo-Tedesco's Concerto for Guitar No. 1, composed in 1939, which became one of the 20th century's most dedicated composers to the instrument. Composed the same year in Paris, the famous Concerto d'Aranjuez remains a touchstone in the repertoire of every guitarist. The blind composer Rodrigo drew inspiration from the gardens of the Aranjuez Palace, trying to capture "the scent of magnolias, the song of birds, and the splashing of fountains."

Grande salle Pierre Boulez - Philharmonie
The Grande salle Pierre Boulez (Symphonic Hall) boasts innovations in architecture, stage design and acoustical engineering. Thanks to a modular design, its capacity increases from 2400 people in the symphonic configuration to 3600 when the parterre is converted into a standing room area.
All five levels of the Grande salle Pierre Boulez are accessed via the entrance on Level 3 of Philharmonie, which can be reached via stairways, escalators and two lifts, with direct access from the Porte de Pantin plaza and the Philharmonie parking facility.
From the entrance, stairways and lifts inside the hall take visitors to the various levels.
The Grande Salle Pierre Boulez has thirty designated seats for people with reduced mobility.
