Experience Patricia Kopatchinskaja live on June 26th

Patricia Kopatchinskaja will perform at Maison de la Radio et de la Musique - Auditorium in Paris on June 26, 2026. Kopatchinskaja is a Moldovan-Austrian violinist known for her intensely individual and often unconventional interpretations of both standard repertoire and contemporary works. Her performances are frequently described as visceral and emotionally charged, characterized by a distinctive sound often achieved through unconventional bowing techniques and a willingness to explore the physicality of playing. She regularly commissions new pieces and collaborates with composers, demonstrating a strong commitment to expanding the violin repertoire.

Maison de la Radio et de la Musique, inaugurated in 1963, serves as the headquarters of Radio France, the French public radio broadcasting company. The auditorium itself is renowned for its exceptional acoustics, designed specifically for radio broadcasting but also hosting public concerts. It was built with a focus on sound quality for recording purposes, utilizing a unique “vineyard” style layout where the audience surrounds the orchestra on all sides. This design contributes to a particularly immersive listening experience. Throughout its history, the auditorium has hosted prominent orchestras and soloists from around the world, becoming a significant venue for classical music in Paris.
