The Les Musicales de Bagatelle festival is making its return to Paris! For this upcoming edition, the musical celebration will once again take place at the Orangerie of Bagatelle Park, on Saturday, May 16 and Sunday, May 17, 2026. The event promises to make the most of springtime in the French capital and delight music lovers once more.
As a reminder, Les Musicales de Bagatelle offers young laureate artists, sponsored by their elders, the opportunity to perform original programs, sometimes revisited, and to take part in talented encounters. Created in 2008, the Les Musicales de Bagatelle festival has rapidly become an essential springtime musical rendez-vous for discovering young laureate artists through chamber music concerts, major works from the repertoire and new works.
This year, the musical event once again puts itself at the service of youth, audacity and musical emotion, welcoming young talent and great artists for two days of immersion in the inspiring, verdant setting of theOrangerie in the Parc de Bagatelle.
On May 16 and 17, get ready to experience four exclusive concerts, including a special performance with clarinetist Pierre Génisson.
