Les Siècles live in Paris

Experience Les Siècles live on January 11th

Les Siècles, founded by François-Xavier Roth, is a French orchestra renowned for its historically informed performance practice. The ensemble specializes in reviving orchestral sound worlds from different eras, often utilizing instruments and techniques appropriate to the period of composition. Rather than adhering to a single stylistic niche, Les Siècles frequently contrasts historical performance with contemporary interpretations, offering audiences a unique perspective on musical evolution.

The concert on January 11, 2027, will be held at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris. Opened in 1913, the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées was conceived as a venue dedicated to modern artistic expression – particularly opera and ballet – in response to perceived conservatism within existing Parisian institutions like the Opéra Garnier. Its Art Deco architecture and excellent acoustics quickly established it as a significant cultural landmark. Throughout its history, the theatre has hosted performances by leading figures in music and dance, including Igor Stravinsky (whose *The Rite of Spring* famously premiered there), Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes, and numerous renowned orchestras and soloists. It remains a prominent venue for classical music and other performing arts in Paris.
