Philippe Manoury live in Paris

Experience Philippe Manoury live on January 13th

On January 13, 2027, the Philharmonie de Paris will host a concert featuring the works of French composer Philippe Manoury. Manoury is recognized for his significant contributions to spectral music and his pioneering use of computer-assisted composition techniques. His compositions often explore the timbral possibilities of instruments, frequently incorporating live electronics and complex harmonic structures derived from acoustic analysis. He blends detailed spectral analysis with a strong dramatic sensibility, resulting in works that are both intellectually rigorous and emotionally engaging.

The Philharmonie de Paris, inaugurated in 2015, is a modern concert hall complex located in the Parc de la Villette, 19th arrondissement of Paris. Designed by architect Jean Nouvel, it serves as the primary venue for the Orchestre de Paris and hosts a diverse range of classical music performances, contemporary music events, and other cultural programming. The complex comprises two main halls: the Grande Salle Pierre Boulez, known for its adjustable acoustics and seating capacity of approximately 2,400; and the smaller Salle de Découvertes dedicated to educational activities and smaller-scale performances.
