Leipzig Gewandhaus Bach Orchestra live in Paris

Experience Leipzig Gewandhaus Bach Orchestra live on May 29th

The Leipzig Gewandhaus Bach Orchestra will perform at the Philharmonie de Paris on May 29, 2027. The orchestra is renowned for its historically informed interpretations of Johann Sebastian Bach’s works, alongside a broad repertoire spanning from Baroque to contemporary music. Rooted in a tradition dating back to 1743 – making it one of the oldest civic orchestras in the world – the Gewandhaus Orchestra emphasizes clarity of texture, rhythmic vitality, and a striving for authenticity in performance practice, often utilizing period instruments or informed modern equivalents.

The Philharmonie de Paris, inaugurated in January 2015, is a major concert hall situated in the Parc de la Villette, 19th arrondissement of Paris. Designed by Jean Nouvel, its architecture is notable for its asymmetrical form and metallic cladding. The complex houses two primary concert spaces: the Grande Salle Pierre Boulez, known for its exceptional acoustics and adjustable reverberation capabilities, and smaller studio spaces intended for more intimate performances and educational activities. The Philharmonie de Paris was conceived as a national institution dedicated to promoting all musical genres and fostering musical education. It regularly hosts leading international orchestras and soloists.
