Highlights: Chamber Music Concert Series

Imagine yourself in a red velvet seat, in an opulent rose-and-gold auditorium. On stage, two or three musicians—whose talent needs no introduction—are tuning their instruments. A gentle murmur fills the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées. The lights dim, and you find yourself slowly immersed in the sound of the piano, violin, and cello. Though the hall is grand, the music feels like it is meant for you alone. There is perfect intimacy between you and the music. This, in a few words, captures the atmosphere of the chamber music concerts at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées.

 

When it comes to performers, you’ll find nothing less than the crème de la crème of artists, both rising stars and established masters: Evgeny Kissin (piano), Joshua Bell (violin), Steven Isserlis (cello), Victor Julien-Laferrière (cello), Anne Queffélec (piano), Étienne Durantel (double bass), Nelson Goerner (piano), Edgar Moreau (cello), Ning Feng (violin), Pierre Génisson (clarinet), Gautier Capuçon (cello), Frank Braley (piano), not to mention superb ensembles such as Quatuor Hanson, Quatuor Diotima, and Quatuor Strada.

 

The greatest masterpieces of the repertoire sit alongside lesser-known or contemporary gems. Highlights this season include Tchaikovsky’s Trio “In Memory of a Great Artist”, Schubert’s String Quintet in C major, D. 956, Brahms’ Clarinet Quintet, Op. 115, Golijov’s The Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind, and Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4 in a chamber arrangement. Every concert promises pure emotion and deep musical connection.

 

It truly feels as though the stars have aligned to offer you evenings of sheer delight!
