Clash, from Vivaldi to AC/DC: a concert uniting classical music and rock at Salle Gaveau

Looking for an unconventional way to celebrate Valentine's Day? On Saturday, February 14, 2026, the Gaveau Hall will reopen its doors for the Clash musical evenings. For this fourth concert of the season, expect a daring fusion of rock and classical music. From Vivaldi to AC/DC, Mozart to Radiohead—get ready for a one-of-a-kind sensory journey.

Bringing two musical worlds together: this is the essence of Clash evenings, created by Nicolas Repac with his quartet, the Trans Cover Express. Every month, they foster a dialogue between cello and drums, as well as piano, violin, and electric guitar.

Having already hosted three editions at the Salle Gaveau, the Clash concept — launched in 2024 — is making its return to this stunning venue in the 8th arrondissement of Paris on Saturday, February 14, 2026, Valentine’s Day. For this new season highlight, Nicolas Repac has decided to blend rock with classical music in a show titled "From Vivaldi to AC/DC."

You’ve got it right—this evening’s performance will showcase musicians paying tribute to the great composers of classical music, alongside bands and artists from the rock universe. On February 14, 2026, at Salle Gaveau, prepare to hear pieces by Bach, Mozart, Vivaldi, and Ravel, as well as rock legends like Pink Floyd, Nirvana, Alain Bashung, Radiohead, and AC/DC. But don’t expect simple covers—Clash reimagines each piece, transforming them into something entirely new. As a special highlight, Mathias Malzieu, singer and musician from Dionysos, and the singer-songwriter Clou will join the stage for several duets, adding their unique touch to the show. "Clash, from Vivaldi to AC/DC" promises to deliver an unprecedented musical experience that challenges traditional boundaries.

Several upcoming monthly editions of the Clash concerts are already scheduled at the Salle Gaveau this year. Mark your calendar for March 13th’s "Cello Electro" evening, April 4th’s "Once Upon a Time in Marseille" concert, or the May 23rd performance that blends the iconic works of Ennio Morricone with those of Hans Zimmer.

But until then, mark your calendars for February 14, 2026 when the show "Clash: From Vivaldi to AC/DC" hits the stage, blending classical music with rock in a thrilling crossover.
