So, are you looking for a good deal?
Head off to the Hauts-de-Seine to discover this strange building, which has been standing in the middle ofBoulogne-Billancourt's Ile Séguin since 2017 (and celebrated its 5th anniversary last April). Conceived as a "musical destination", La Seine Musicale boasts an imposing 6,000-seat "La Grande Seine" concert hall, a 1,150-seat auditorium and various rehearsal and recording spaces.
Designed by architects Jean de Gastines and Shigeru Ban, the Seine Musicale is an architectural challenge, as theauditorium sits on the Seine and "its wooden shell seems to float on the Parisian river". During the Journées du Patrimoine 2024-, discover all the secrets of this venue, which has quickly become an essential part of the region's cultural life.
This open house day offers a wide range of activities: guided tours, open rehearsals, indoor and outdoor concerts, discovery of the SeineLab and its workshops for young audiences, immersive experiences, presentation of period instruments... and also a tour combining contemporary art and circus!
A unique day to discover the colorful programming of the 2024/2025 season of La Seine Musicale, the Département des Hauts-de-Seine and residents.
The Heritage Days are of course an opportunity to (re)discover the building designed by Japanese architect Shigeru Ban, in association with Frenchman Jean de Gastines, inaugurated in April 2017.
Les Chantiers Enchantés by Alice Louradour will transform the monochrome Grande rue into a colorful place of artistic interaction.
La Grande rue, a place of passage, will be transformed into a veritable temporary art gallery: 2 Révélations Emerige artists, a springboard program designed to support the young French scene, will interact with the facility through original creations.
Les Chantiers Enchantés by Alice Louradour will transform the monochrome Grande rue into a colorful place of artistic interaction. Her approach is characterized by an exploration of public space and a desire to reenchant everyday places.
Finally, artist Antonin Hako proposes a project in continuity with Shigeru Ban's architectural gesture: by creating an original hanging system, Antonin will exhibit his paintings, "en parure", like jewels on the scale of the architecture. The artist is particularly influenced by the concept of movement and freedom, which he expresses through various media such as canvases, flags, and even hot-air balloons
An artistic experience not to be missed!
