Chicago Symphony Orchestra live in Paris

Experience Chicago Symphony Orchestra live on January 22nd

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra is scheduled to perform at the Philharmonie de Paris on January 22, 2027. Renowned for its powerful brass section and consistently ranked among the world’s leading orchestras, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra typically presents a repertoire spanning from Baroque to contemporary works, with a historical strength in performing pieces by composers like Brahms, Dvořák, and Shostakovich. The orchestra is known for its rich sound and technical precision cultivated under a lineage of celebrated music directors.

The Philharmonie de Paris, inaugurated in January 2015, is a modern concert hall complex designed by Jean Nouvel. It represents France’s first purpose-built concert hall of this size and ambition. The complex features two primary halls: the Grande Salle Pierre Boulez, known for its adjustable acoustics and seating capacity of approximately 2,400, and smaller spaces dedicated to various musical endeavors. The building's design intentionally aims to be accessible and inclusive, offering educational programs alongside performances. It quickly became a central hub for musical activity in Paris and an important venue for international orchestras and soloists.
