The Intimate Concerts Series 2026-2027 in a few words

The Centre des musiciens du monde invites you to the Intimate Concerts series, launched in 2024 in the choir of Saint-Enfant-Jésus church, an exceptional venue with remarkable acoustics for rare moments of communion with music. With capacity limited to 50 seats, the intimate atmosphere is ideal for savouring every note and every breath, in a silence and resonance conducive to listening. Each evening explores an instrument and the culture it embodies, shining a light on traditional music passed down orally through generations. These interpretations, both respectful of heritage and marked by each artist’s own sensibility, weave a link between past and present. Come discover inspired melodies, ancestral harmonies, and sonic stories where the diversity of the world expresses itself in all its splendour. A rendezvous for the soul and the senses.
