Story: Paris Chamber Orchestra at Théâtre des Champs-Élysées
Lars Vogt, a German pianist and conductor, has been responsible for the musical direction of the Paris Chamber Orchestra for a glorious two years. This orchestra welcomes a new generation of French musicians, which now makes it one of the youngest permanent orchestras in France. This season is an opportunity to discover these young talents through moving melodies such as Joseph Haydn’s Cello Concerto No. 2, Boieldieu’s Harp Concerto, and Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto K. 622... Chamber music will be most appreciated in the pink and gold decor of the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées.

Hosting one of the most lavishing concert halls in all of Paris, Champs- Élysées is the true definition of architectural beauty with its historic foundation. Inaugurated in April 2, 1913, the structure is quite large comprising of three auditoriums: Théâtre des Champs- Élysées, The Comédie des Champs- Élysées, Studio des Champs- Élysées, and a restaurant. The main theatre which has 1905 seats is Italian styled and originally constructed to host guests visiting the theatre to watch opera shows and concerts. This was the first theatre in Paris to be built completely from reinforced concrete instead of steel.
Over the years the famed theatre has hosted many recognized artists such as the beautiful cabaret dancer Josephine Baker, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Peterson, Stravinsky, Richard Strauss, and many other entertainers from our cherished olden day era. In 2005 the main room in the theatre was renovated in order to improve the acoustics, it is confirmed that during a show the sounds are very clear, almost as if you were up close to the stage.
