Solesne Loy - Croq'Musique - Camille Saint-Saëns - Le Carnaval des Animaux

Saint-Saëns – Le Carnaval des animaux A concert full of surprises in which the animals are the heroes. An original and joyful musical parade by the great composer Camille Saint-Saëns, featuring the majestic lion, very chatty hens and roosters, placid tortoises, a clumsy elephant, bounding kangaroos, a splendid swan and many other animals besides.

LES DIMANCHES CROQ'MUSIQUE An innovation of the 2026-2027 season aimed at the youngest, the Dimanches Croq’Musique are the result of a collaboration between the École Normale de Musique de Paris and the association En rythme avec Croq’Musique.

Led by violinist and teacher Solesne Loy, these Sundays, six over the course of the season, will take the form of a series of thematic workshops allowing children aged 3 to 12 to set off in small groups to discover classical music in a participatory, playful and hands-on way, based on listening, play, manipulation, singing and movement.

Closing each of these days, a concert specially designed for children but open to everyone will offer the chance to hear renowned artists, including composer Karol Beffa and cellist Edgar Moreau, but also to take to the stage of the Salle Cortot for the young budding musicians who have taken part in the day's workshops!
