The Auditorium, an emblematic hall at La Seine Musicale, captivates with its immersive 360-degree architecture, inspired by the vineyard model, offering a unique proximity between artists and audience. A true acoustic jewel, it hosts an ambitious programme dedicated to great repertoire works, recitals, and exceptional musical projects. Over the seasons, the resident orchestra at La Seine Musicale, Insula orchestra and its guest season, develops a strong artistic identity there. These exceptional ensembles share the stage with internationally renowned soloists and emerging young talents, making each concert a unique moment. At the crossroads of tradition and creation, the Auditorium's programming fully reflects the dynamism and openness of the current classical scene.

Grieg's Piano Concerto captivates from the very first measures with its ardour and lyricism: the piano unfolds popular Scandinavian themes with dazzling and passionate virtuosity, also capable of delicate poetry, sublimated by the grace and masterful touch of Takuma Ishii, a multi-award-winning Japanese soloist, deeply fond of the romantic repertoire. The Orchestre national d’Île-de-France, under the sensitive baton of conductor Eugène Tzigane, will continue its exploration of dreamlike landscapes with Dvoøák's Symphony from the New World: composed in the United States, this score blends epic sweep and nostalgia, making the great classical tradition dialogue with Eastern European folklore. From its famous meditative Largo to the conquering accents of the Finale, the work is carried by an inexhaustible melodic inspiration.
