Orchestre de chambre de Paris / Emmanuel Pahud flûte

Emmanuel Pahud, a flautist of worldwide renown, returns to enchant the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées. Expect an evening in which the virtuosity and sensitivity of his interpretation take centre stage.

Emmanuel Pahud is an iconic figure of the classical transverse flute, renowned for his impeccable technique and profound musicality. Born in Geneva, he rapidly rose through the ranks to become principal flute of the Orchestre Philharmonique de Berlin at just 22, a position he has held since 1992. This prestigious post, which he has occasionally put on hold to devote himself to chamber music projects and recitals, attests to his commitment and versatility. His repertoire extends from baroque music to contemporary works, showing a rare ease and stylistic understanding.

Pahud has distinguished himself with a prolific and critically acclaimed discography, notably on Warner Classics (formerly EMI Classics). Among his standout recordings are his interpretations of Mozart's concertos, Bach's sonatas, or indeed French works for flute. He has collaborated with many leading conductors and chamber musicians, thereby enriching his artistic career. His sound, both brilliant and warm, has become his signature, and his ability to bring each musical phrase to life is universally admired.

During this visit to Paris, audiences will have the opportunity to appreciate the mastery and expressiveness that characterise each of his performances. Emmanuel Pahud is known for his stage presence and his ability to forge an intimate connection with his audience, turning each concert into a memorable experience. His playing combines impeccable technical precision with great freedom of expression, exploring the nuances and emotions of each work with remarkable depth. This concert at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées offers a rare opportunity to hear one of the greatest flautists of our time in a superb acoustic setting.
