Eric Lu live in Paris

Experience Eric Lu live on September 29th

Eric Lu will perform a piano recital at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in Paris on September 29, 2026. Lu is a Swiss-American pianist recognized for his poetic and insightful interpretations of classical repertoire, often noted for a delicate touch and a focus on nuanced phrasing. His performances frequently emphasize emotional depth and a clear, lyrical sound, encompassing composers from Bach to Rachmaninoff, though he is particularly lauded for his interpretations of Chopin and Schubert.

The Théâtre des Champs-Elysées holds significant historical and architectural importance. Opened in 1913, it was conceived as a venue showcasing modern art forms – music, dance, and opera – challenging the conventions of the time. Its construction faced initial public opposition due to its modernist design, which contrasted sharply with the surrounding Belle Époque architecture. The theatre quickly became a hub for artistic innovation; Igor Stravinsky’s *The Rite of Spring* premiered there in 1913 amidst famously disruptive audience reaction.

Throughout its history, the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées has hosted leading international performers and continues to be renowned for its exceptional acoustics and elegant interior.
