More than forty years after it was founded, the Orchestre de chambre de Paris is considered one of Europe’s foremost chamber orchestras. Through a period of major renewal in recent years, it is incorporating a new generation of French musicians that have made it one of the youngest permanent orchestras in France and the first French orchestra to achieve true gender parity.
The orchestra performs throughout Greater Paris with concerts at the Philharmonie, where it is a resident ensemble, at Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, Théâtre du Châtelet, as well as other venues in proximity to the metropolitan population, in addition to developing numerous international tours. As a musical actor engaged in its city, the orchestra has developed a civic approach that aims to reach all segments of the population, including persons in situations of precarity or social exclusion.
Since 2020, the orchestra’s musical director is internationally renowned conductor and pianist Lars Vogt. Under his direction, it is pursuing and strengthening its unique artistic approach and firm commitment to chamber music.
Over the seasons, the Orchestre de chambre de Paris collaborates with the greatest conductors and soloists such as Christian Tetzlaff, Trevor Pinnock, Thomas Dausgaard, Pekka Kuusisto, Antonio Méndez, Maxime Pascal, Emmanuel Pahud, Thibaut Garcia, Marzena Diakun, Anne Gastinel, Gautier Capuçon, Jodie Devos, Ian Bostridge, Marie Perbost, Christoph and Julian Prégardien, Karine Deshayes.
