Yaron Herman, Emile Parisien, Linda May Han Oh and Prabhu Edouard
The simple fact of bringing together two of the most freely inspired contemporary improvisers would be enough to arouse our curiosity: the saxophone aesthete Emile Parisien , whose every note is the fruit of a merciless demand that excludes easy reflexes, was one day to meet his long-time friend Yaron Herman , a pianist of transversal lines, self-taught whose limitless imagination summons jazz, rock, classical or electro, without ever fearing the vertigo of the blank page. Always in search of uncreated music, innovative perfumes, Emile and Yaron surrounded themselves with percussionist Prabhu Edouard , Indian tabla master sought after by Jordi Savall and Jeff Mills , and Linda May Han Oh , Malaysian double bassist based in NYC, winner of a GRAMMY award and professor at the prestigious Berklee College of Music, whose accuracy and poetic force the public discovered alongside jazz greats like Pat Metheny , Kenny Barron and Terry Lyne Carrington .
A totally original group whose music is an invitation to a journey of sounds, flavors and senses, to be found on the Auditorium stage.

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.
