True invitations to dream, the programs of L’Arpeggiata reconnect with the unexpected, restoring to the baroque its original meaning: a pearl of irregular shape, an astonishing element. Christina Pluhar and her ensemble navigate like few others between scholarly and popular music, bridging the gap with a contagious joy.
“Alla Napoletana” transports us to the enchanting atmosphere of Naples. Between the 17th and 18th centuries, Naples gave birth to refined, lyrical scholarly music while also harboring a vibrant popular tradition that still thrives today. Tarantellas and Fandangos, anonymous pieces, and illustrious figures of the baroque invite us on a journey through one of the most fascinating cities of the Mediterranean. Accompanying L’Arpeggiata, the dancer Anna Dengo superbly embodies the pulsating rhythms of the performance.
This concert is performed on period instruments.

Auditorium Patrick Devedjian
Nestled like a gem in a case of glass and wood, the Auditorium Patrick Devedjian is the centerpiece of our building. It can accommodate up to 1,150 spectators and is dedicated to acoustic music, featuring the greatest classical ensembles and musicians, foremost among them the resident orchestra: Insula orchestra.
Its appearance is open to interpretation: a bird's nest, a giant liner, "the ball"...
From the outside, its glass facade is protected and powered by a gigantic array of solar panels that moves in synchronization with the sun, overlooking the concrete liner.
From the inside, the 1,150-seat hall awakens our senses. Dedicated to classical music, jazz, and world music concerts, its light blonde wooden ceiling, cardboard tubes, and paper reveal all the secrets of the excellent acoustics of this stage.
Its Acoustics
Studied by the Nagata and Jean-Paul Lamoureux firm to ensure the best possible sound reproduction for the audience. All precautions have been taken to guarantee exceptional acoustics with the precision of a musical instrument.
Its Design
Modular, its vineyard-style arrangement creates a genuine proximity with the audience surrounding the artists. The interplay of lights, the beauty of materials (wood, mosaics, glass), and the 360° panorama are all designed to match the pleasure of the eyes with that of the ears.
Its design aims to create a sense of visual and acoustic intimacy shared between the audience and the musicians. The atmosphere of the hall is warm, with curved wooden walls and ceiling contributing to the hall’s unique sound identity. Access to the hall is provided on three levels by large suspended walkways offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. These are connected by large staircases forming a continuous promenade around the hall.
