You gave a warm welcome to the story of this grumpy, authoritarian and jealous king, who had forbidden his subjects, even though they were all musicians, to play music. Mathieu Laine and Karol Beffa return to bring you this adventure and tell you its captivating sequel to the discovery of music and instruments: The King Who Still Didn't Like Music . In the second part of the show, the king leads his people to Jazzikistan , a country where music has the power to transform hearts and make people happy!
In this new opus, the composer and improviser Karol Beffa , awarded at the Victoires de la Musique , invites us to discover a new score, imbued with dreams and emotion, enhanced by the captivating story of Mathieu Laine . A journey where the violin, cello, clarinet and piano are your guides. And where the variety of timbres and rhythms pique the curiosity and imagination of young spectators and their parents alike.
A change of scenery is guaranteed in this concert, to be shared with the family, discovering the wonders of music and its powers of evocation and dreaming.

La Seine Musicale
La Seine Musicale is a music and performing arts center located on Île Seguin an island on the Seine river between Boulogne-Billancourt and Sèvres, in the western suburbs of Paris, France.
Adress: La Seine Musicale, Île Seguin, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt, France
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.
