Christina Pluhar live in Paris

Experience Christina Pluhar live on January 23rd

Christina Pluhar will perform at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in Paris on January 23, 2027. Pluhar is a French-Canadian lute player and vocalist known for her work in early music, particularly French Baroque repertoire. Her approach frequently blends scholarly research with improvisation and a contemporary sensibility, revitalizing historical performance practice. She often leads ensembles such as L’Arpeggiata, focusing on the rediscovery and reinterpretation of lesser-known composers alongside established figures like Monteverdi and Purcell. Her performances are characterized by a vibrant energy and a willingness to explore the emotional depth of the music.

The Théâtre des Champs-Elysées holds a significant place in Parisian cultural history. Opened in 1913, it was conceived as a showcase for modern art, encompassing opera, ballet, theatre, and concerts. Its construction faced initial opposition due to its modern architectural style – a departure from the ornate Parisian aesthetic of the time – but quickly became celebrated for its exceptional acoustics.
