Fascinated by the discovery of music linked to the Spanish popular tradition (notably the Concierto de Aranjuez by Joaquin Rodrigo ) and by certain expressions of the cultural heritage of this country (such as flamenco or religious processions), the trumpeter Miles Davis gave his intense and poetic vision in "Sketches of Spain", a masterpiece marking the opening of jazz to world music.
An emancipated disciple of his glorious elder, Erik Truffaz has become one of the leading figures of electro-jazz trumpet whose creativity has never waned. His encounter with the saxophonist and flamenco singer Antonio Lizana , a true phenomenon that the audience at La Seine Musicale was able to appreciate during the tribute paid to Paco de Lucia in 2024, was to be sealed by an ambitious project: to offer their contemporary vision of these " Sketches of Spain " whose genius has spanned the decades.
A major event to mark the centenary of the birth of Miles Davis, the prince of darkness who found light in the land of Cervantes and Garcia Lorca.

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.
