Tchaikovsky, Dvořák and Rimsky-Korsakov deploy all their orchestral power in this journey to the heart of Eastern European musical traditions, between captivating melodies and dance rhythms.

The Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra and guest conductor Alevtina Ioffe arrive with a radiant program! After the delicate overture to Rimsky-Korsakov's little-known opera " May Night ," comes one of the most challenging pieces in the violin repertoire, Tchaikovsky's Concerto. Violinist Timothy Chooi will deliver its irresistible effusion. He will also perform Antonin Dvorak's lovely Romance bohémienne. The orchestra will finally continue with Dvorak's Symphony No. 8, constantly oscillating between minor and major keys, a work both serene and full of contrasts.

Duration: 2 hours with intermission

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.
