Located in the heart of Paris' historic Les Halles district, the Église Saint-Eustache, which celebrates its 800th anniversary this year, has always had a close relationship with art, and with music in particular. The church, which has had an organ since the 15th century, has seen the greatest composers pass through its walls, including Lully, Rameau, Berlioz and even Mozart, who came for his mother's funeral. To celebrate its 8th centenary, the church is hosting a series of immersive concerts with choir and orchestra for 20 exceptional performances. Under the alternating direction of conductors Alexis Duffaure and Bertrand Causse, a group of 13 exceptional musicians, including organ, harp, brass quintet, string quartet and percussion, and 24 exceptional vocalists - combining the celestial voices of the Saint-Eustache choir with those of professional singers - will bring to life a repertoire rearranged repertoire of classical and sacred music.
They will cross the eras from the Middle Ages to the present day with works by masters such as G. Fauré, A. Vivaldi, G. Holst, G. Haendel, G. Fauré, C. Gounod and L. Vierne. They will perform in the choir the unique acoustics of this sacred space, amplified by a three-dimensional spatial three dimensional spatial sound system, enveloping the audience in unprecedented sonic immersion thanks to twenty-two speakers strategically placed beneath the nave.
