A master of the Germanic repertoire, particularly the works of Bach, which he has tirelessly explored for half a century, András Schiff confronts The Art of Fugue, a score as monumental as it is enigmatic.
While the Hungarian-born pianist has long made Mozart and Beethoven his daily bread, Bach remains his composer of choice. "Every performer must decide for themselves how they will play Bach. The beauty of Bach is the freedom he gives us," he has stated. The Art of Fugue provides the best example of this quest for interpretation. Crafted in the 1740s, this unfinished collection of fourteen fugues and four canons, a web as complex as it is mysterious, an immense construction of astonishing harmonic boldness, presents one of the greatest challenges that a musician can face. Who better to take it on than András Schiff, a pianist well-versed in the greatest masterpieces?

Philharmonie de Paris
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.
