Wayne Shorter is among the most important musician-creators in jazz over the past 60 years. His saxophone playing, sound, and exceptional talent as a composer have left a mark on generations. The quartet he formed nearly a quarter-century ago continued to explore new territories until his passing last year, earning him the most prestigious awards. Reaching a new dimension in the art of improvisation and interaction among members of the same group, he became the reference point for today’s jazz. By inviting Ravi Coltrane—whose illustrious lineage and musical demands make him the most legitimate successor—the Legacy of Wayne Shorter project masterfully conveys the master's message: dare to create the uncreated, explore further the great adventure of jazz through its fascinating repertoire.

La Seine Musicale
La Seine Musicale is a music and performing arts center located on Île Seguin an island on the Seine river between Boulogne-Billancourt and Sèvres, in the western suburbs of Paris, France.
Adress: La Seine Musicale, Île Seguin, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt, France
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.
