Paul Lay live in Paris

Experience Paul Lay live on September 27th

Paul Lay will perform at Maison de la Radio France in Paris on September 27, 2026. Lay is a French composer and pianist whose music frequently blends contemporary classical structures with elements of jazz, improvisation, and electronic soundscapes. His compositions often explore textural complexity and rhythmic interplay, drawing inspiration from both minimalist traditions and spectral music. He is known for a distinctive harmonic language and a focus on the sonic possibilities of the piano, often extending its capabilities through prepared piano techniques and electronic processing.

Maison de la Radio France, inaugurated in 1963, serves as the headquarters of Radio France, the French public radio broadcasting company. Beyond its administrative function, it is a significant cultural venue housing several studios and concert halls. Specifically, Studio 104 – where Lay is scheduled to perform – is renowned for its exceptional acoustics and is frequently used for recordings by the Orchestre National de France and other ensembles. The building itself represents a notable example of modernist architecture, designed by Henry Bernard. It has undergone renovations over the years to maintain its status as a leading center for musical performance and broadcast production within France and internationally.
