Olivier Calmel will perform at the Théâtre Pierre De Lune in Avignon, France on July 9, 2026. Calmel is a French composer and performer whose music blends elements of contemporary classical, minimalist composition, and traditional folk influences, often incorporating extended techniques on acoustic instruments – particularly the cello, which he frequently performs on. His work is characterized by atmospheric textures, repetitive motifs, and a focus on timbre and resonance. He has released several albums to critical acclaim and frequently collaborates with artists across various disciplines.

The Théâtre Pierre De Lune is a historic venue located within the walls of Avignon’s medieval city center. Originally constructed in the 18th century as a private salon for noble families, it transitioned into a public performance space in the early 19th century. Throughout its history, it has hosted a diverse range of performances including theatre, dance, and musical concerts. The theatre underwent significant restoration in the late 20th century to preserve its original architectural features while modernizing its technical capabilities. It's known for its intimate atmosphere and excellent acoustics making it a favored location for chamber music and solo performances during the Avignon Festival and throughout the year.
