Saint-Saëns – Carnival of Animals A concert full of surprises with animals as the heroes.

An original and joyful musical parade, work of the great composer Camille Saint-Saëns where we meet the lion in majesty, chatty hens and roosters, tranquil turtles, a clumsy elephant, bounding kangaroos, a splendid swan and many other animals still.

THE SUNDAY CROQ'MUSIQUE EVENINGS Innovation of the 2026-2027 season dedicated to the youngest, the Sunday Croq'Musique evenings are the result of a collaboration between the Paris School of Music and the Association In Rhythm with Croq'Musique.

Led by violinist and educator Solesne Loy, these Sundays, six during the season, will take the form of a series of thematic workshops allowing children aged 3 to 12 to embark in small groups on the discovery of classical music in a participatory, playful and concrete way, based on listening, play, manipulation, singing and movement.

At the end of each of these days, a concert specially designed for children and open to all will be an opportunity to hear renowned artists, including composer Karol Beffa and cellist Edgar Moreau, but also to take the stage at Salle Cortot for the young budding musicians who participated in that day's workshops!
