Philharmonie de Paris

The Philharmonie de Paris, formerly known as the Cité de la Musique, is a public institution that brings together concerts, exhibitions, symphonic training and educational activities to democratise access to music. Its educational programme is based on collective practice, musical awareness from an early age, and the transmission of a rich instrumental and cultural heritage. Located in an iconic building designed by Christian de Portzamparc and Jean Nouvel, it has a reach that extends not only to Paris and the Île-de-France region, but also nationally and internationally. Finally, it works in partnership with local authorities, schools, associations and cultural actors to create artistic pathways, develop skills and promote cultural diversity.
