When Tchaikovsky presented his very first piano concerto to his friend, the famous pianist Rubinstein , the latter could not find words harsh enough for the work. Tchaikovsky was not discouraged and performed the work as he had imagined it: the premiere was a success and Rubinstein would later revise his judgment.
The first movement opens with a monumental gesture and encapsulates all the qualities of the Russian composer: exuberant lyricism and lush orchestration. The lighter central movement has an almost pastoral feel, while the finale leaps into fanfare, alternating melodic bursts with folk dances.
We appreciate the sumptuous and powerful playing of pianist Andrei Korobeinikov in this monument of the repertoire, so famous that it has eclipsed Tchaikovsky 's other two concertos .
A child prodigy trained in Vienna, Korngold shaped the music of Hollywood cinema, giving it its incredible evocative power forged in the Romantic language. A language of which he knows all the secrets, he who was not yet 15 when he composed this delicious Sinfonietta , of harmonic sensuality and irresistible lyricism.
From Russian torments entrusted to the piano to the sumptuous orchestration of fin-de-siècle Vienna, conductor Sascha Goetzel will be able to draw out marvels of refinement, with ample majesty or subtle chiaroscuro.

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.
