About 'Salle Cortot'

Built in 1929, in a pure New Art style, its acoustic quality is one of the most unique in Europe and is popular among the Paris audience. Auguste Perret, who is also the architect of the Champs-Elysées Theater, designed one of his greatest realizations. Integrated to the "Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris", this concert hall of which Cortot said "it sounds like a Stradivarius" is, in all aspects, an exceptional place.
Classified as a French Historical Landmark and located in the heart of Paris, it offers, with an average size (400 seats), 13 curved ranks idealy dispatched around the stage, which sets you within the acoustical centre.
With beautiful panellings and a circular stage, on which well-known artists have played, the Cortot Concert Hall is one of the most appreciated music theaters in Paris. The performance space (and some additional reception rooms) can also be rented by companies, private persons and artists.
