A pillar of Argentinian popular music, tango found its modern incarnation in the 1960s in the expressive bandoneon of Astor Piazzolla . This "new tango" then crossed the borders of South America to conquer the entire world , seduced - not to say carried away - by the notes and sounds of this singular blues which so well reveals the soul of the Argentinian people. The quintet format (bandoneon, violin, guitar, piano, double bass) is the one which allowed Piazzolla to ideally exploit his musical vision, the astonishingly diverse origin of which dates back to his childhood in Harlem, where jazz, klezmer music and Neapolitan airs punctuated his daily life . Bach, Stravinsky and Bartok also had a decisive influence on his writing and the science of timbres. Reformed at the initiative of his wife, the Quinteto Piazzolla continues the master's legacy, with a seal of authenticity immediately perceptible to the ear, embodied by this Libertango , a composition which continues to captivate the hearts of all music lovers.

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.
