Orchestre Lamoureux live in Paris

Experience Orchestre Lamoureux live on June 30th

Orchestre Lamoureux, founded in 1886 by Charles Lamoureux, possesses a longstanding reputation for championing contemporary music alongside core classical repertoire. Historically, the orchestra has been associated with French composers and a commitment to innovative programming, often presenting works previously unfamiliar to Parisian audiences. Their style generally reflects a lyrical and refined approach to orchestral performance, known for clarity and balance.

The concert will be held at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, a landmark Art Deco venue inaugurated in 1913. Conceived as a response to perceived deficiencies in Parisian concert halls, it was designed by Roger-Henri Expert and quickly became central to the city’s cultural life. The theatre notably hosted the premiere of Igor Stravinsky's *The Rite of Spring* in 1913, an event famed for its controversial reception.

The building itself is celebrated for its acoustics and elegant interior design, featuring contributions from prominent artists of the era like Maurice Denis and Émile-Othon Fréret. It remains a significant space for classical music, opera, ballet, and recital performances, maintaining its status as one of Paris’s premier cultural institutions.
