Bach and Vivaldi in their majesty with four exceptional harpsichordists. Virtuosity and energy run through this jubilant program.
For this grand keyboard celebration, four great French harpsichordists, spanning generations, come together to explore Vivaldi and Bach, accompanied by the Le Consort ensemble. Bach's rarely performed concertos for several keyboards refer as much to the period when Bach led the Collegium Musicum of Leipzig, an ensemble of professional and amateur musicians, as to Vivaldi, who had a vital influence on his musical education. Thus, Bach borrows several concertos from him, but he undergoes a true metamorphosis: Vivaldi's Concerto for 4 Violins becomes a Concerto for 4 Keyboards by Bach. An exceptional evening not to be missed under any circumstances!
This concert is performed on period instruments.
Duration: 2 hours without intermission

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.
