Experience Haochen Zhang live on January 4th

Haochen Zhang will perform at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in Paris on January 4, 2027. Zhang is a Chinese classical pianist recognized for his poetic sensitivity and technical precision. His repertoire spans from the core classical composers like Beethoven and Chopin to more contemporary works, often praised for his nuanced interpretations and expressive playing style. He gained international attention after winning the International Tchaikovsky Competition in 2009 at the age of 19.

The Théâtre des Champs-Elysées holds a significant place in Parisian cultural history. Opened in 1913, it was conceived as a venue dedicated to modern art forms, contrasting with the more traditional opera houses of the time. Its construction faced initial resistance due to its modernist architectural style, designed by Roger-Henri Expert, which broke from prevailing Beaux-Arts traditions. Throughout its history, the theatre has hosted prominent figures in music, dance, and opera – notably being associated with performances by Igor Stravinsky early in his career and becoming a key venue for Serge Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes. The theatre is known for its excellent acoustics and intimate setting, seating approximately 1900 people.
