Alain Planès live in Paris

Experience Alain Planès live on June 29th

Alain Planès will perform at the Orangerie de Bagatelle in Paris, France on June 29, 2026. Planès is a French composer and pianist known for a minimalist and spectralist approach to music. His compositions often feature sustained tones, subtle harmonic shifts, and explorations of timbre, creating immersive and meditative soundscapes. He frequently draws inspiration from natural phenomena and explores the relationship between sound and space. His work is characterized by a deliberate pacing and a focus on the delicate nuances of piano performance.

The Orangerie de Bagatelle is a historical building located within the Parc de Bagatelle in the Bois de Boulogne, Paris. Originally constructed in the late 18th century for Queen Marie Antoinette as a small retreat within the larger gardens, it served as a space to protect orange trees during the winter months – hence its name. Over time, it has been used for various purposes including balls and receptions during the monarchy. Today, it functions primarily as a venue for classical music concerts, particularly during warmer months due to its open-air setting and intimate atmosphere. The Orangerie’s acoustics are considered well-suited to chamber music and solo instrumental performances.
