Quatuor Dutilleux live in Cahors

Experience Quatuor Dutilleux live on August 9th

Quatuor Dutilleux will perform at the Auditorium du Grand Cahors in Cahors, France on August 9, 2026. The quartet is recognized for its interpretations of both established classical repertoire and 20th and 21st-century works, with a particular affinity for French composers like Henri Dutilleux – after whom they are named. Their style is characterized by a refined sound, technical precision, and a deep engagement with the emotional core of the music they perform, often exploring complex harmonies and textures.

The Auditorium du Grand Cahors opened in 2017 following extensive renovations to the former Jesuit chapel and college. The building represents a significant cultural investment for the Lot department, aiming to establish Cahors as a regional hub for performing arts. The architectural design consciously blends historical preservation with modern functionality; retaining key features of the original chapel – including its vaulted ceilings – while incorporating state-of-the-art acoustics and stage technology. It hosts a diverse program of events encompassing classical music, jazz, theatre, and dance, catering to a broad audience. The auditorium's capacity is approximately 450 seats.
