William Christie live in Chantilly

Experience William Christie live on October 11th

William Christie will perform at the Musée Condé: Galerie De Peinture in Chantilly, France on October 11, 2026. Christie is internationally recognized as a pioneer in the historically informed performance of Baroque music. His work focuses on reviving and performing music from the 17th and 18th centuries, prioritizing stylistic authenticity through research into original performance practices – including ornamentation, tempo, and vocal styles – as they would have been understood by composers of the period. He frequently conducts ensembles like Les Arts Florissants, which he founded in 1979.

The Galerie de Peinture within the Musée Condé is a significant part of the palace of Chantilly’s historical and artistic collection. Originally assembled by Henri d'Orléans, Duke of Aumale, during the 19th century, it houses an exceptional collection of paintings primarily from the Flemish and French schools dating from the 14th to the early 19th centuries. The gallery itself was designed to resemble an Italian Renaissance palazzo, displaying the artworks within a carefully curated architectural setting intended to enhance their presentation.
