Nicolas Horvath live in Paris

Experience Nicolas Horvath live on June 23rd

Nicolas Horvath will present a concert at the Philharmonie de Paris on June 23, 2026. Horvath is an Argentinian-born composer and percussionist whose musical style is often described as blending contemporary classical music with elements of improvisation, spectralism, and influences from non-Western musical traditions, particularly those of South America and Asia. His compositions frequently explore extended techniques for percussion instruments and often involve large ensembles or orchestral settings, creating richly textured and sonically innovative soundscapes. He is known for works that push the boundaries of instrumental timbre and explore the physicality of sound production.

The Philharmonie de Paris, inaugurated in January 2015, is a major concert venue located in the 19th arrondissement of Paris. Designed by architect Jean Nouvel, it is part of a larger park complex including the Cité de la Musique. The Philharmonie’s primary concert hall, *La Grande Salle*, is renowned for its acoustics and its vineyard-style seating arrangement which places the audience closer to the performers. It serves as the home of the Orchestre de Paris and hosts a diverse range of classical music performances, contemporary music events, and other cultural presentations.
