Concerts for children in Paris

54 concerts for kids concerts in Paris, across 33 venues — 11 of them free (20%). Listings updated on .

Concerts aimed at young audiences form a category of their own, with their own venues and their own timings. In our upcoming listings the Philharmonie de Paris programmes the most, ahead of Les Trois Baudets, Salle Colonne, 38Riv Jazz Club, the Adidas Arena and the Théâtre du Châtelet. What you find there ranges from educational concerts built around hearing an orchestra to narrative music shows, instrument discovery sessions and film concerts for the very young.

The first thing to check is not the genre but the time and the age. These events almost always take place during the day — Wednesdays, weekends, school holidays — and the gap with an evening concert is considerable. The recommended age is not something we collect: it is stated by the official ticket seller, and the description on each listing often gives a hint. Between a toddler music session and a narrated symphonic concert, the experience is nothing alike.

This page gathers every concert and music show for children announced in Paris, sorted by date, with venue, start time and a link to the official or partner ticket seller. Prices in this repertoire are among the lowest in the catalogue, and some events are free to attend: the listing says so when that is the case. For a specific Wednesday or Saturday, the date filter on the home page shows everything programmed that day in one view.

Two other pages complement this one. “Free” gathers every free-entry event in the catalogue, young audiences included — handy for an unplanned outing. And “This weekend” filters all dates down to Saturday and Sunday, which is when most of these shows take place.

A last practical note. Venues in this category vary enormously in size, from a hundred-seat room to an arena, and the experience differs accordingly: an intimate session lets children see the instruments up close, a large hall trades that for scale. Each venue page shows its capacity, which is the quickest way to picture the afternoon.
