Quatuor Ébène live in Paris

Experience Quatuor Ébène live on December 19th

Quatuor Ébène is scheduled to perform at the Philharmonie de Paris on December 19, 2026. The quartet is renowned for its interpretations of classical string quartets, notably those by Beethoven, but also actively commissions new works and explores arrangements spanning diverse genres including jazz, flamenco, and Argentinian tango. Their style is characterized by a refined sound, technical precision, and a demonstrably playful engagement with the music – often incorporating improvisation and a deliberate breaking down of traditional concert formality.

The Philharmonie de Paris, inaugurated in January 2015, is a major European concert venue dedicated to all musical genres. It forms part of a larger park complex, the Parc de la Villette, in the 19th arrondissement of Paris. Designed by architect Jean Nouvel, the main concert hall, *La Grande Salle*, boasts exceptional acoustics and a modular design allowing for varying capacities. The complex also includes smaller performance spaces and educational facilities. The Philharmonie de Paris aims to be both a world-class performance space and a hub for musical education and discovery, building upon France’s rich musical heritage while embracing contemporary artistic expression.
