Revealed on the New York scene in the 1990s and a loyal guest of the Philharmonie de Paris, Brad Mehldau is one of the most lyrical and intimate voices in contemporary jazz. With Après Fauré, he confirms his natural affinities with the classical repertoire.
The American pianist's collaborations with soprano Renée Fleming and mezzo-soprano Anne Sofie von Otter are well known, as are his exchanges with Charles Rosen at Carnegie Hall and the undeniable influence of Beethoven, Schumann, Schubert, and Bach on his creativity and vocabulary. His reinterpretations of the "classics" are never linear; instead, they expand through various influences, opening up to a broad and powerful imagination that is always virtuosic and welcoming. Bach was already whispering in Brad Mehldau's ear in 2018 with a project of recomposition and improvisation under a double signature. An inspiring figure who has long been by his side, Fauré invites him to engage in a conversation on equal terms, blending original compositions with a selection of beloved nocturnes.

Grande salle Pierre Boulez - Philharmonie
The Grande salle Pierre Boulez (Symphonic Hall) boasts innovations in architecture, stage design and acoustical engineering. Thanks to a modular design, its capacity increases from 2400 people in the symphonic configuration to 3600 when the parterre is converted into a standing room area.
All five levels of the Grande salle Pierre Boulez are accessed via the entrance on Level 3 of Philharmonie, which can be reached via stairways, escalators and two lifts, with direct access from the Porte de Pantin plaza and the Philharmonie parking facility.
From the entrance, stairways and lifts inside the hall take visitors to the various levels.
The Grande Salle Pierre Boulez has thirty designated seats for people with reduced mobility.
