Orchestre Colonne live in Paris

Experience Orchestre Colonne live on June 23rd

Orchestre Colonne, a French orchestral institution founded in 1873 by Édouard Colonne, is scheduled to perform at the Philharmonie de Paris on June 23, 2026. The orchestra has a long history of championing both French and international composers, with a particular emphasis on works from the Romantic and early 20th-century periods. While maintaining a core repertoire, Orchestre Colonne frequently performs contemporary compositions and collaborates with prominent soloists. Its sound is generally characterized by a rich tonal palette and expressive phrasing.

The Philharmonie de Paris, inaugurated in January 2015, is a major concert venue dedicated to all musical genres. Located in the Parc de la Villette in the 19th arrondissement of Paris, it is comprised of a Grand Hall with approximately 2,400 seats renowned for its exceptional acoustics designed by Yasuhisa Toyota and Nagata Acoustics. The complex also includes smaller performance spaces – the Salle de Découverte and Studio – alongside exhibition areas and educational facilities. It serves as the home base for the Radio France Philharmonic Orchestra but regularly hosts visiting ensembles like Orchestre Colonne.
