In the heart of Paris, in the prestigious 8th arrondissement, stands the Salle Pleyel, a mecca for classical and contemporary music. Inaugurated in 1927, this concert hall - listed as a historic monument since 2002 - has been the scene of many major musical events, marking the cultural history of the French capital. Behind the birth of this musical mecca was engineer and architect Gustave Lyon, also director of the Pleyel piano factory, who at the time wanted to create a space dedicated to chamber and symphonic music.
Since its opening, the Salle Pleyel has played host to many renowned national and international artists. From legendary pianists such as Arthur Rubinstein, Martha Argerich and Maurizio Pollini, to conductors such as Herbert von Karajan and Pierre Boulez, the hall has been the setting for memorable performances. It also served as the home of the Orchestre de Paris until 2015, before its move to the Philharmonie de Paris.
The architecture of the Salle Pleyel, with its Art Deco façade and refined interior, offers exceptional acoustics, recognized worldwide by music lovers and professionals alike. After a major renovation in 2006, followed by new work in 2015, the hall now has a seating capacity of 2,036, and a standing capacity of 2,503.
Until 2015, the Salle Pleyel was a hall dedicated to symphonic concerts. Since then, the Salle Pleyel has embarked on a new life, devoting itself to contemporary music of all kinds: jazz, pop, rock, world music and even metal, thus broadening its audience and enriching its cultural heritage. These diverse events testify to the venue's flexibility and modernity, proving that it remains a lively and dynamic space in the Parisian musical landscape.
To get to the Salle Pleyel, public transport options are numerous. The venue is close to the Ternes metro station, accessible by line 2, as well as the Charles de Gaulle - Étoile station, served by metro lines 1, 2 and 6 and the RER A. In addition, several bus lines also serve the area, making access to the venue convenient for visitors from different parts of Paris.
